Tarn'spoetry redefines nature and art for human culture, bringing a genuinepsychological and linguistic curiosity about the human mind, about what itmeans to be human., While poetry is narrowing its concerns, Tarnrisks a scale epic enough to contain mountains and oceans. He keeps his linesof communication open to more than one life form; with a prophetic sureness ofdirection., Tarn's lessons [are] delivered as though by the Ancient Mariner. He treats poetry as the apposite medium for dealing with such large concerns as ecology, cosmology, war, memory, and apocalypse...

Synopsis
A new collection by America's internationalist poet--"avision both original and universal" (Octavio Paz), Gondwana: an ancient supercontinent dispersed into fragments. Contemplating the ethereal blue ice of Antarctica, once part of it, Nathaniel Tarn writes in the opening section of his magnificent collection: "They said back then/there was a frozen continent/in those high latitudes encircling globe; / are you moving toward it?" From there, the rising and falling stairs at Fez in Morocco meld into a cantata on marriage, empire, and the meditational nature of climbing. In a series of beautiful, short poems "Il Piccolo Paradiso," Tarn creates a haven of home, bird flight, and innervating light. In another section, the heroic WWII fighter pilot Lydia Litvyak is personified as Eurydice speaking to her lover captain, Orpheus. The book concludes with the powerful poems of "Exitus Generis Humani," its polyphonic lines slowly pouring over the reader in a mournful, yet often humorous, reverie that reveals allegiance to Earth as the essential divinity, while calling for radical change if we want to prevent a definitive ending. Book jacket., Gondwana: an ancient supercontinent long-dispersed into fragments in the Southern Hemisphere. Contemplating this once-massive landmass at the the end of the world while looking out at the ethereal blue ice of Antarctica, Nathaniel Tarn writes: "They said back then / there was a frozen continent / in those high latitudes encircling the globe: /are you moving toward it?" The various parts of Gondwana cohere into a unified whole that celebrates bird flight, waves, and innervating light while warning against environmental calamity. Some poems celebrate the New Mexican desert as it becomes a place of protest against the invasion of Afghanistan; in another, the rising and falling stairs at Fez in Morocco meld into a meditation on marriage, empire, and the origins of climbing. Elsewhere the heroic fighter pilot Lydia Litvyak is personified as Eurydice speaking to her Captain as Orpheus; and in the final long section, "Exitus Generis Humani," lines pour over the reader in slow, mournful, yet often humorous, song, revealing "the poets' hearts are a world's heart" as the human race ends and whole armies sink into the earth "yearning for mother love." Celebrated as a poet where "inquiry and ethical action are imperative" (Joseph Donahue, Jacket2 ), Nathaniel Tarn has lifted up a mind-heart mirror of our contemporary existence in Gondwana and warns us of a definitive ending if we do not demand radical change., Gondwana: an ancient supercontinent long-dispersed into fragments in the Southern Hemisphere.
