The Promises of Glass

Exploring the intricacies of language and personal narratives, this collection delves into the complexities of identity within the context of late twentieth-century America. Michael Palmer's work captures the essence of "displacement by degrees," as described by Marjorie Perloff, reflecting the absurdities of a post-urban landscape. Divided into seven sections, it offers a rich and thought-provoking examination of autobiographical elements, making it a significant addition to contemporary poetry.
