Lure by Nils Michals
With Lure, Nils Michals extends to us a world of radiant detail, sometimes the world feels painfully beautiful, and eerie inner song. Moving between quietly charged description and sweeps of anguish and abrupt joy, Michals is always aware of how his attention treads on the landscapes and people it follows. - Joanna Klink
This is a striking collection that's not afraid of beauty or emotion nor of the difficulties they have always presented to poetry- Cole Swensen; With Lure, Nils Michals extends to us a world of radiant detail - sometimes the world feels painfully beautiful - and eerie inner song. Moving between quietly charged description and sweeps of anguish and abrupt joy, Michals is always aware of how his attention treads on the landscapes and people it follows. - Joanna Klink; These are silvery poems, shimmering with the cold light of Scandinavia and the North. Of sculptors and kings, of sea voyages and scientists. Of doomed airplanes in their last descent; but of ordinary urban life also. For these are human poems too, and wise in the minor desolations of the deathbound heart. - Patricia Goedicke
Nils Michals's poems have appeared in jubilat, Indiana Review, Faultline, and other journals. He lives in San Francisco.
