Radius of Light
Overview
Radius of Light is a lively, profoundly intelligent expos of our lives as lived in this World... very often at its environmental expense. Here are tales of Lovers intensely enchanted by the other, then deeply estranged. Here are vivid descriptions of natural scenes - Northern cottage-country and farther afield - wherein the speaker in his limberlost retreat, suddenly wakes under the shadow of carbon smog. As poet A.F. Moritz puts it, these poems "are remarkable for the discovery of depth and resonant mystery within realistic detail. Auerbach's view is as unflinching as his lines are terse.... They make no compromise in delineating the difficulties of our natural existence, and the brutality and self-delusion we ourselves contribute." But his hope is unfailing too: "again we gather dust, /fashion a house from frost."
