Here, the page is a plane for working out aesthetic problems, engaging the reader's intellect and love of beauty. Each new word or phrase calls forth another; attentions create their own nimbus of associations. Davidson's poems are a kind of battleground, where larger philosophical questions are grappled with through the sieve of language and form, but they are also a response to the vital use people make of everyday speech. Faced with hearing loss, he questions the acoustical models--voice, ear, rhyme, rhythm, text--upon which poetry depends and takes as his subject the problems and questions of our cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom The Second City: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ein the second cityI live out the dream of the firstliving neither for its access and glamour\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003enor dying from its disregardsimply talking towards the twin spiresof an ancient cathedrallike a person becoming like a person\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Davidson is Professor of Literature at the University of California, San Diego.
