Robert Pack 
Clayfeld Holds On [EPUB ebook] 

Supporto

from "Clayfeld’s Farewell Epistle to Bob Pack" Beneath this mellow harvest moon, I can still picture you a boy contentjust fishing with his father from a ledgeabove a foaming stream. The flailing troutyou caught is packed in gleaming ice;the pink stripe all along its sideis smeared across black shiny dotsthat seem to shine with their own light. I m sure that you can picture mewith equal vividness, and though we re notidentical, there is a sensein which I am inventing youas much as you re inventing me. In Clayfeld Holds On, Robert Pack offers his readers a comprehensive portrait of his longtime protagonist Clayfeld, who is also Pack s doppelganger, his alternate self, enacting both the life that the poet has lived and the life he might have lived, given his proclivities and appetites. Poet and protagonist, taken together, are self and consciousness of self, the historical self and the embellished story of that literal self. Written with a masterly ear for rhythm, and interweaving narrative and lyrical passages, the poems recount Clayfeld s formative memories while exploring concepts such as loyalty, generosity, commitment, as well as cosmic phenomena such as the big bang theory and black holes. Through all of this, Pack attempts to find purpose and meaning in an indifferent universe, and to explore the labyrinth of his own proliferating identity.
