What Light He Saw I Cannot Say, a new poetry collection from Sidney Burris, explores the interplay of human consciousness and objective reality, always in celebration of the imaginative spirit that brings them into a productive and often spiritual conversation. Poems both demanding and beguiling gain a deeper resonance as they encourage us to understand the often mysterious links that unite the people and events that crowd our daily lives. Deploying themes that encompass the physical, the spiritual, and the meditative, What Light He Saw I Cannot Say remains rooted in the human condition while showing how this experience is rich with vision and transcendence.
Sidney Burris, professor of English and director of the oral history project Tibetans in Exile Today at the University of Arkansas, is the author of the poetry collections A Day at the Races and Doing Lucretius. He has also published a critical work on the poetry of Seamus Heaney, The Poetry of Resistance, as well as numerous essays and reviews.
