\u00a0<\/div>\n

Willing the word to become flesh, the poems in\u00a0Vitreous Hide<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>both reveal and enact yearning\u2014for love, for the beloved, for the words to transform beloved image to beloved substance. Orpheus reaches for Narcissus through a new mirror of myth, now dim with distance, now bright with the possibility of connection. Through the shining skin or surface of prose lines and field composition, these poems reach for the embodiment of the other in order to be, themselves, embodied.<\/p>\n

“Edgerton is brilliant to announce that myth and the perils of myth are flesh of our flesh, the perdurable instance of our human birth.\u00a0Vitreous Hide<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0details the dream of that birth and all the loves that keep the dream alive. These poems are the very soul of tenderness.”<\/div>\n
–Donald\u00a0Revell<\/span><\/div>\n

“Others will speak of Edgerton\u2019s brilliant use of forms and the dense musical structure that animates the poems of\u00a0Vitreous Hide<\/em><\/strong>, and still others will be clucking their heads at the strange title, which reconstitutes in sound the brutal and the breathy, the upper and lower limits of his speech.\u00a0 But I want to put in a word for the gay erotics of this work, which seem to me to have no equivalent in modern American poetry.\u00a0 Really you\u2019d have to go back in time and cross many seas, you\u2019d have to flutter into Cavafy\u2019s bedroom on a warm summer night, in that room above the cafe, the dark room with the many lighted candles, to hear so persuasive, alert, and stunning a love poem.”<\/span><\/div>\n
