Book Descriptions:
"Though not exactly a nature poet, Howard Altmann is a poet of his own mysterious kingdom, 'a house' in which he has built a house, whose walls are open to the inspiration of air. ('Frightened of the next life / being exactly like this life / he asked to be a bird' or 'Let it not be words / you reach for you say— / where the trees stand / far from men'). To have discovered this kingdom and inhabited it (like Keats' Imagination, as monk to monastery)—to have found words for what is nearly unsayable—is a measure of this poet's uncanny transformational gift. Enter the house of these poems and stay on, a grateful tenant in this remarkable state of wonder."—Carol Muske-Dukes
"Howard Altmann has found a way to make language transform itself. If the elusive moment between I and Thou could speak, it might be one of his quietly amazing lines—'you ask the silence to invert itself / like a gymnast in the dark . . . ' Without a trace of rhetoric, In This House reminds us of the power of poetry: to show us how to live in a world in which we are strangers. It's a thrill to come close to such an original and deeply realized art."—Dennis Nurkse
Howard Altmann lives in New York City but he was born and raised in Montreal, Canada, where he graduated from McGill University.
