In it, Nadler imagines himself into those moments of unintelligibility--blank spaces in time--where constraint and expansion coincide. When faced with such ellipses, like where a few decisive hieroglyphs have worn off a wall, he infers and reconstructs the flora, fauna, and pleasures of an ancient world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Like the wind that gusts coastal pines toward the water \/ sleep bends me toward my lover \/ and I cannot drink from her\" Nadler's is a project of constant negotiation, one that bends his poems into new shapes. He attends to an impulse of restoration and conservation, in turn. From this tension arises verse of searing simplicity and clarity of vision, imbued with that trembling quality of new life: \"luminous and half-naked.\"\u003ci\u003e Lacunae\u003c\/i\u003e, deeply felt and gnomically wise, dares to pave a poetic landscape all its own, the work of a remarkable new poet with enormous ambition and ability.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Nadler\u003c\/b\u003e's poetry has been widely published and anthologized, including in \u003ci\u003eBest American Experimental Writing\u003c\/i\u003e.
