The Empty Quarter

Lindsay Hill

4.9/5 (33274 ratings)

Description:In The Empty Quarter, his fifth full-length book of poetry, Lindsay Hill leads the reader on an arid yet passionate journey in this book-length meditative poem. “The desert of Mauritania, called 'The Empty Quarter', drifts into the capital. Every day, a woman sweeps the sand away from her home, but the next day the process starts all over again. In this brilliant, dreamlike meditation on the groundless ground of sand, sea, self, and home, Lindsay Hill creates an existential drama of loss and recovery, isolation and agora, reminiscent of Kobo Abe’s powerful novel The Woman in the Dunes. The considerable beauty of the work is achieved not through rhetorical striving but by quietly establishing the precision of the case: “She has never / stood so close / to anything / as she is / to that / which the sand / takes.” The tone and rhythm of the work are perfect, as sand, woman, and city drift into each other.” -Paul HooverWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
