The prose poems and sonnets in \u003ci\u003eDreamlife\u003c\/i\u003e are packed with postmodern language-leaping, modern irony and absurdity, and a poet's ageless ear for the pleasures of the lyric and formal experimentation. These are poems that can never quite abandon the hope that life--and language--are worthy pursuits; but they never offer up easy assurances about the benefits of humanity to anyone or anything. Get ready for dogs that wail and overtake the scene; an invitation to make love on a mattress of ants; and the philanthropist of the title, who dreams that people are tuned into fish. It's \"good luck and bad in random but equal measure,\" Kaplan writes in \"Life and Times.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanet Kaplan is the author of two previous poetry collections, \u003ci\u003eThe Groundnote\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Glazier's Country\u003c\/i\u003e.
