Götterdämmerung
Götterdämmerung
By Len Gasparini
Götterdämmerung is Len Gasparini's fifteenth book of poetry since the early 1970s. What distinguishes this collection from his earlier work is the long title poem: a tour de force that covers new ground in the genre of ecopoetics by launching an acerbic yet lyrical assault on the Anthropocene. Other poems explore such diverse themes as memory, art, and botany. Also included are three literary essays that evince the importance of language and imagination.

Reviews
Len Gasparini’s poems are sung with passion in a rich, original language. These poems are not pieced dryly together out of what Blake called a ‘mechanical talent’ for language, they arise unbidden and necessary.
A reading of The Social Life of String will demonstrate what attending to life looks like as Gasparini turns the world into poetry.
