À propos de ce contenu audio
With his painterly eye and disarming concision on the page, Katz opens this book with a powerful image of “all time sequestered in the fold of a daffodil,” setting the stage for an encounter with the immediacy we must embrace to see the world around us with clarity. At the center of this collection are his captivating poems about animals—“The hope in fear / In thrill to run” of the rabbit, the snapping turtle “nestled // Next to brother rock”—as the poems continually engage with the heady passage of days and years, and the promise to honor a life in the here and now, to walk the street with the sense that, “It’s not about buying / But rather about feeling the air.”
“Whether in nature, or on a crowded or empty city street, was all a dream?” Katz writes, considering Daffodil. “Surely, there was and is still someone close, and that continues, as animals, despite war, despite incursions, continue. New York is a place of return, where we’re aware of faces and other things; there, or in a field of flowers, in places in the distant past and present, love has some inexorable way of continuing.”
These poems evoke the exact scenes that command our daily thoughts, that usher in grace and beauty, with their quietly urgent moral qualities, which, Katz suggests, can shape our days if we allow them to.

Praise for Daffodil:
"Katz revels in the quotidian. . . . I could quote from [his] new book ad infinitum for the sheer pleasure of hearing the hard-won simplicity of the verses. . . . The declarative nature of these lyrical verses. . . provokes an often-arresting complex of thoughts. . . . The logic or impetus of the poem becomes inseparable from the cityscape and, in turn, with the lives of those who inhabit the place and poem. . . . Most telling for me is the conviction of the poet’s vision, a mature insistence on his subject enabling the poet to risk it all with the brevity of his compositions." —Paul Vangelisti, The Brooklyn Rail
