Another Art of Poetry & Doorstones by Michael Edwards Nina Mingya Powles New York Times)Michael Edwards returned to the English tongue for his last book of poems, At the Brasserie Lipp (2019), after years as a French language author. English revived many nerves of memory, and in Another Art of Poetry he explores them further, in ten chapters, each consisting of continuously numbered sections. There are 194 sections, so we can read the book as a continuous sequence, as ten discrete poems, or as single lyrics and epistles interspersed.
