Product Description
by Walter Weinschenk (Author)
In The Death of Weinberg, Walter Weinschenk gives us an elemental display; his prose is airy but burns fiery; his poetic lines move with the dancing grace of gushing water but are thick with the richness of earth. These stories and verses plumb want, loss, and selfhood with a flair for the surreal and the strange, using the bizarre as a backdrop to explore what it means to know one's deepest self and to feel the root things of being human. Sentences move with grace, phrases turn with precision. You can feel the movement and music in every vignette and stanza.
-Joe Baumann, author of Sing With Me at the Edge of Paradise
Walter Weinschenk's words peek behind the veils of Life and Time. His writing flows like the rhythms of nature. There is a sacredness and a soberness to his poetry, which makes this book feel like a pilgrimage. As I read it, I found myself walking toward more and more consciousness.
-Claudia Dawson, editor of Phantom Kangaroo
The Death of Weinberg: Poems and Stories holds close to the epiphanic narrator, his illumination a "throb of consciousness" that permeates his dialectic entanglement in an existential quarrel of belief, conduct, and comprehension: What it means to be alive. Once he comes to grip with his place in the world of the living and the dead, he grasps the reclamation of the soul-a realization of disclosure and acceptance as profound as his search for identity.
