Infos

Where Are the Snows takes its title from the famous refrain of Franois Villon's 15th Century poem ';Ballad of the Ladies of Times Past.' Like that poem, the book functions, among other things, as an ubi sunt, Latin for ';Where are they?' as in ';Where are the ones who came before us?'the beautiful, the strong, the virtuous, all of them? In keeping with that long tradition, these poems offer a way to think about life's transienceits beauty, its absurdity, and of course its mortality. Allusive and associative, anti-capitalist and unapologetically political, aligned somewhere between comedy and anger, this poetry juxtaposes the triumphs and tragedies (mostly tragedies) of our current age with those of history, andby wondering ';Where are they?'explores the questions of where we are now and where we might be going.
