"So where are we?" asks Lawrence Joseph in the title poem of his powerful and moving sixth book of poetry.

Beginning where his acclaimed collection Into It left off, amid the worldwide violence unleashed by the World Trade Center terrorist attack, Joseph''s poems-global and historic in scope-boldly encounter the imaginative challenges of our time: issues of political economy, labor and capital, racism and war, and "the point at which / violence becomes ontology, / these endless ambitious experiments in destruction, / a species grief."

Against these realities, Joseph presents an intimate, sensuous language of beauty and love, "a separate / palette kept for each poem," a constant shifting and fluid play of sound and tone. With incisive intensity, intelligence, emotional force, and fierce, uncompromising vision, Joseph speaks from deep within the truths of poetry''s common language. So Where Are We? is extraordinary new work from one of our most distinctive poets.
