Mark Leidner: Elegy for Pangaea
Advertisement
Mark Leidner’s third poetry collection, Elegy for Pangaea, is as funny, strange, and epic as his two previous collections, Returning the Sword to the Stone and Beauty Was the Case that They Gave Me. His new poems explore faith, grief, money, myth, parenting, and poetry itself to create a collection as full of tantalizing ideas and dilemmas as “an enormous library with a waterbed floor.” As mystical as it is satirical, as audacious as it is personal, as hysterical as it is disconcerting, in Elegy for Pangaea, Leidner once again shows us that the only way out of irony is through.
