A new collection from �a poet of obvious gifts and power and ambition, unsparing and brilliant� (W. S. Merwin). Romanticism explores and challenges the central ideas of high Romanticism: the tragedy and gallantry of the individual�s life journey, the appeal of revolution and violence, the beckoning forces of Nature, and the estrangement from but constant longing for God. Here is a powerful argument for the primacy of strong emotion. �Ungeliebt� So I offered a bargain: All of it, the books, the papers, and whatever is still brewing in my teapot head� All of this, I said, I will surrender if only I may have the home that I have seen in his face. The answer came at once: No. What lies you tell, and call them love. .
