The Book of Tendons
by Eleni Sikélianòs · 1997

These taut beautiful poems are full of curious resonances that travel like physical memory. The past and the future run through the body of this work like streams flowing mysteriously through words or rivers "slipping between atoms." In the process the ungovernable darkness of language pours through (Peter Gizzi).
