Tahl

Jeremy Ingalls

4.9/5 (19589 ratings)

Description:"Tahl is a contemporary epic. In this astounding poem Jeremy Ingalls has brought to play on the lives of a young composer-aviator and his intimates and casual acquaintances the accumulated wisdom and lore of the world in which we live. The chief period covered is the past decade, and the locale includes New England, New York, the Southwest, China, the Pacific, Palestine, Greece, and Spain--all of them vital regions of the modern world. Ten or twelve of the principal characters of the story are created in the round as fully as the protagonists of a great novel, and similarly become true parts of the reader's own acquaintance. Each combines in himself or herself several aspects of present-day life. Tahl himself is always central to the action, which derives from his quest across the face of the earth in search of answers to the eternal whys, whithers, and wherefores of man's existence. He composes music, takes an active part in the struggles and battles of our time, and asks questions of God. His askings, the asides and comments of his friends, the propaganda of his enemies, the backgrounds through which all move--these are the nuclei around which grows the orchestrally designed and very beautiful poetry of Jeremy Ingalls. Tahl is at once simple and difficult. Its story and the extraordinary force of Jeremy Ingalls' poetry are easy and delightful to comprehend. What is difficult in Tahl is what is great in it: the intermingling layers of meaning that are not all to be uncovered in the course of one, two, or even three casual readings. As varied as the poetic techniques used are the myths and symbols that rise to the surface and sink away again. Like any profound poetic creation, Tahl is compacted of such multiform materials that its fullest significance can be won only by prolonged, careful, and rewarding study. The poem is in itself a universe that can be inhabited, mapped, and traveled through."--Dustjacket flaps.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
