Author: Terry Hauptman
Blurbs:
“These are poems of rare vision and ecstasy frankly espousing the tradition of Blake and his modern heirs. Invoking a community of poets and artists alive and dead, Hauptman’s poems are almost choral, both in their assimilating of so many voices and in their performative energy fusing world and word. These are highly unusual poems. Like a female Ginsberg, Terry Hauptman comes bearing her strange gifts.”
– Rosanna Warren
“The Indwelling of Dissonance is a collection of spells, songs of transformation, incantations. They are said to make things happen, worlds evolve, delicately balanced between two worlds, you are here, you are there. They are ultimately the same. I feel your voice, world, Pluto-like power.”
– Joy Harjo
“The Indwelling of Dissonance renews the mysteries raised with each generation. Weaving through life’s isorhythms of song, nourishing our storehouse of archetypes, ascending, descending, spiral dancing, we are confronted by a lineage forever present in the question, ‘Where to next?’ Like the fate of Icarus, The Indwelling of Dissonance and the accompanying ‘Scrolls of Fire’ do not withhold the blood from life’s circumstances. But the musical images do not lead us crashing to the ground. They walk, run, skip, twirl, push and thrust us upward, even if we first visit what is behind. Our lives unravel. We endure the past as it conjoins with the present, and all the while the future approaches, engulfing us with a flame of life.”
– Brian Fitzpatrick
