Other editions of book Incommunicado

Poetry. "Keith O'Shaughnessy has composed INCOMMUNICADO with extraordinary thoroughness. Sensuous images, swelling syntax, and haunting recurrences are here organized into a set of varied patterns at once intricate, gorgeous, and rigid. INCOMMUNICADO arranges its paradoxical shards—art, appetite, beauty, decay—into a lush and austere design. I know of no book like it."—Rachel Hadas"INCOMMUNICADO, yes. But not in the way one might first guess. The poems in Keith O'Shaughnessy's collection are ... accessible and memorable, full of vivid images ... These are poems—in the tradition of Augustine, Lao Tzu, Christian mystics, Zen—about the ineffable, that which must be spoken to but cannot be spoken of."—H. L. Hix"Keith O'Shaughnessy's book of poems INCOMMUNICADO is a marvel of craft and passion ... These poems are bold, they are well made, and they dare the reader to drop everything and join the dance."—Ifeanyi Menkiti
