Af-ter opening with Cain launched into exile--\"from the good book hurled \/ out to beget the world\"--Rogoff then sweeps us along in his imaginative wanderings, pondering our mortality through the means and powers poetry makes available. The poems explore sacred and secular history, including wars as ancient as Troy and as contemporary as Iraq, and incidents of mass violence from the Middle Ages to modern times. They simul-taneously enlist the power of all forms of art as an ally in confronting disaster and helping us proceed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a great variety of forms both traditional and experimental, Rogoff's poems meditate on \"the long fault\" into which we will all tumble. Like Hamlet staring into the eyes of Death, \u003ci\u003eThe Long Fault \u003c\/i\u003eresists the encroaching dark with the imaginative sympathy, strong lyricism, and strange humor that powerful poetry can provide.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJay Rogoff is the author of the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eThe Cutoff\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHow We Came to Stand on That Shore.\u003c\/i\u003e His verse has appeared in \u003ci\u003eAgni, Georgia Review, Kenyon Review, Literary Imagination, The Pro-gressive, Southern Review, \u003c\/i\u003e and many other journals.
