What is Atlas Hour : Poems about?

Poetry. ATLAS HOUR is a collection of poem-maps whose cosmology embraces the works and lives of the painters Vermeer and Mark Rothko, Fra Angelico and Gerhard Richter, the anonymous child-artists of the Nazis' Terezin transit camp and the poet's own children. Sifting and selecting moments in history and in the annals of art, these poems bring the stuff of everyday into relationship with the great mysteries of what we believe, who we love, whom and what we choose to hurt or leave unharmed. "Carol Ann Davis's ATLAS HOUR is formally inventive, visually striking, and fiercely intelligent. But it's so much more than that, a thoughtful meditation on how family, history, and aesthetic beauty might help us understand our position in a complicated world filled with moments of joy, misgiving, and suffering. The minds at work in these finely wrought poems are at once intricate and expansive, reaching finally through art toward the unknowable and divine. This is an ambitious and riveting collection"Kevin Prufer.
