The new book finds him in a time and place where \"the immense enlargement \/ of our perspectives is confronted \/ by a reduction of our powers of action\"-where the word \"wargame\" is a verb and \"the weight of violence \/ is unparalleled in the history \/ of the species.\" Along the New York waterfront, on a crowded street, at the site where the World Trade Center stood: Joseph enters into these places to capture the thoughts and images, the colors and feelings, and the language that give the present its pressured complexity. Few contemporary writers have been able to shape this material into poetry, but Joseph has done so masterfully-in poems that are daring, searching, and classically satisfying. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eInto It\u003c\/i\u003e is a new work by a poet of great originality and scope.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLawrence Joseph\u003c\/b\u003e's \u003ci\u003eCodes, Precepts, Biases, and Taboos: Poems 1973-1993\u003c\/i\u003e was published in paperback in September 2005.
