"Vijay Seshadri's latest poetry is assured and expert, his line as canny as ever. In an array of poetic forms from the rhyming lyric to the philosophical meditation to the prose essay, 3 Sections confronts perplexing divisions of contemporary life -- a wayward history, an indeterminate future, and a present condition of wanting to outthink time. An extraordinary book, witty and vivacious. Poet, essayist, and literary critic Vijay Seshadri was born in 1954 in Bangalore, India, and came to the United States as a small child. He is the author of three other collections of poems: Wild Kingdom, The Long Meadow, and The Disappearances. He is the Myers Professor of Writing at Sarah Lawrence College and lives in Brooklyn, New York."--Provided by publisher.
