Reports from Babylon and Beyond

Poetry. "In REPORTS FROM BABYLON AND BEYOND, David Schloss delivers a blistering 'report' on disaster and war. It is also an intimate look at people—journalists, civilians, soldiers, officials—caught up in, or propagating, these catastrophes. This is a monumental and challenging work, wider in scope than the poet's previous work, yet readers will be pleased that his customary rigor, polish and sometimes strikingly lyrical turns of phrase are in evidence. Compressed within tight, often intricate constructions, the poems seethe with rage. Reflective and big-hearted as well, they are the work of a mature, passionate, deeply engaged artist."—Lesley Hardy
