- Summary:
- Paul Hyland is alert to the source and power of his poetry. Words culled from darkness are fine-tuned under bright lights. He does what storytellers, shamans, singers and musicians have always done: he takes on the world beyond the firelight -- or the computer screen -- with tales, songs and spells; he dons masks, plays games and tricks, performs modest miracles and, in all seriousness, attempts the art of the impossible. Paul Hyland's Art of the Impossible includes the life work of the spy-poet Z as well as poems selected from other books. In a substantial collection of new poems, Hyland goes underground in Cleveland, explores the Mesolithic South, worries at lberia and gets into the heads of unlikely characters.
