description
3Each hymn in Nathaniel Tarn's new collection The Hölderliniae is a love song to the Poet of Poets, Friedrich Hölderlin?-- the German Romantic poet-philosopher who spent the last thirty-six years of his life sequestered in a carpenter's tower in the south of Germany. Tarn speaks through Hölderlin and Hölderlin speaks through Tarn in an act of spiritual and lyric possession unlike anything else in contemporary poetry. The French Revolution--which Hölderlin supported passionately until the Reign of Terror--illuminates our war-torn, ecologically precarious age, as the failures of our age recall past tragedies. Line after line carries Hölderlin's hope in an ideal of a poetry that can englobe all the mind's disciplines and make a universe of its own.
