Who's Afraid of Helen of Troy? : An Essay on Love, Paperback by Lazar, David,.... David Lazar extends the language of prose poetry, mixing the classical and the high modern, the song and dance man and the Odyssean. Nothing, he finds, is as far apart as we think, except for the chaos and order, innocence and experience. Who's Afraid of Helen of Troy? : An Essay on Love, Paperback by Lazar, David, ISBN 0990322114, ISBN-13 9780990322115, Brand New, Free shipping in the US David Lazar extends the language of prose poetry, mixing the classical and the high modern, the song and dance man and the Odyssean. Nothing, he finds, is as far apart as we think, except for the chaos and order, innocence and experience. Lazar’s voice is a sacred last resort: something’s gotta give. The voice in these poems is semi-autobiographical and performative: masked yet emotionally raw. Each poem draws on the features of modernist poetry, using an arch, cadenced sentence as its primary unit, but drawing on the Iliad , Odyssey , and other classical myths as part of its internal cosmos.
