These are a few of his favorite things. â Charles Bernstein Hank Lazerâ s Abundant Life: New and Selected Poems shows how Lazer thinks with and through writing. All of it is literally experimental in that each new project is a challenge he gives himself, a way to experience life differently. Here we have his â shape writingâ but also short, jagged lyrics reminiscent of Creeley, and long narrative poems about losing oneâ s parents. What unites this work is Lazerâ s joint commitment to mindfulness (a quest to find the sacred within the everyday) and to relationality, to dialogue. His books arise and exist in conversation with others: philosophersâ such as Levinas and Merleau-Pontyâ as well as Zen monks, and admired poets including Emily Dickinson and Creeley. This work may be heady, but it is also deeply human. â Rae Armantrout |
