Errant

A planetary journey through memory, art, and exile in contemporary verse.Errant, Gabriel Levin's sixth collection, invokes Venus at dawn and Hesperus at dusk, charting a course through memory, art, and the experience of displacement. Inspired by Tamara Rikman's art and Plato's celestial music, these poems evoke ghostly presences and explore image-making across time.Elegies to filmmakers Abbas Kiarostami and Chantal Akerman mingle with translations from Greek and Medieval Hebrew. From Jerusalem to Cairo and Crete, the wanderer's path unfolds in aubades, lyrics, and triads of psychic retreat. For readers of evocative poetry exploring philosophical and historical themes.
