Two Wings: She would drift into the kitchen trailing fragments of a hymn that spoke of God, a river, the pair of golden wings that would be hers on Judgement Day and were you to look at her then you might well decide your best bet for a meal would be to eat out: she was blind and appeared a little lost in her tile and linoleum kingdom.Ricardo Sternberg's astonishing third collection brings together poems both lyrical and complex, transparent and resonant.
"Sternberg sets in motion a most remarkable array of agents: birds, brujos, quarks, carrots, and Cyril of Thessalonika ... among them lovers who trapeze through a poetry of formal concentration and assuredness. Bamboo Church is a wonderful collection; full of play, and energy, and delight, it draws together under one roof satire that has tang, argument that is sinuous and subversive, and stories both open and true." Robert Finley, author of The Accidental Indies
