Marvin Bell's ninth major collection of poems is groundbreaking, his most provocative and imaginative work to date. The phrase "the dead man" resounds throughout like a drumbeat registering the wisdom and genius of ignorance, fallibility, and mutability with a Zen-like detachment. Defying paraphrase, Bell's new poems demand to be understood in the context of the incantatory line as he illuminates the transcendent inscape in its moment of self-revelation. "The Book of the Dead Man" demolishes boundaries between lyric poetry and serio-comic intensity, and announces a poetics of striking spiritual candor.
Marvin Bell's stunning new poems address and redefine--and ultimately embrace--aging, entropy, abundance, error, comedy, and horror in the active life. Composed with an elastic line, the poems of "Ardor" transcend time and place, breaking down distinctions between notions of living and dying, transcribing a life lived at the fingertips. Bell reinvigorates the quotidian by bearing witness in a voice by turns surreal, questioning, outrageous and deadpan, but always incisive, returning inevitably to love as the paradigm: "The dead man's thought is visceral and unconditional, love as it was intended when the river met the shore."

Wry, complicated, and never exactly what he seems, The Dead Man is an unreliable narrator of the first water. ( )
