What is Field Notes for the Self (Oskana Poetry & Poetics, 5) about?

Field Notes for the Self is a series of dark spiritual exercises in which the poem becomes a forensics of the soul The poems converse with Patrick Lane, John Thompson, and Charles Wright, but their closest cousins may be Arvo Prts tintinnabulationsoverlapping structures in which notes or images are rung slowly and repeatedly like bells. The goal is freedom from illusion, freedom from memory, from the same old stories of Lundys violent past; and freedom, too, from the unreachable memories of the violence done to his Indigenous ancestors, which, Lundy tells us, seem to haunt his cellular biology. Rooted in exquisitely modulated observations of the natural world, the singular achievement of these poems is mind itself, suspended before interior vision like a bit of crystal twisting in the light. Praise for Randy Here is a poet of whom one can sayquietly, simply, with gratitudethat highest of the real thing.
