"From the current phenomenon of drawing calligraphy with water in public parks in China to Thomas Jefferson laying out dinosaur bones on the White House floor, from the last sighting of the axolotl to a man who stops building plutonium triggers, Sight Lines moves through space and time and brings the disparate and divergent into stunning and meaningful focus. In this new work, Arthur Sze employs a wide range of voices--from lichen on a ceiling to a man behind on his rent--and his mythic imagination continually evokes how humans are endangering the planet; yet, balancing rigor with passion, he seizes the significant and luminous and transforms these moments into riveting and enduring poetry." --;Water calligraphy -- Stilling to North -- No one -- Westbourne Street -- Cloud hands -- In the Bronx -- Unpacking a globe -- During the Cultural Revolution -- Traversal -- The radiant's -- Doppler effect -- Adamant -- A woman detonates -- Python skin -- Lichen song -- Black center -- Under a rising moon -- Light echoes -- First snow -- Salt cedar -- Courtyard fire -- White sands -- Salt song -- The plutonium waste -- Sprang -- Winter stars -- Hole -- Talisman -- Kintsugi -- Yellow lightning -- Red-ruffed lemur -- This is the writing, the speaking of the dream -- Net light -- Sprang -- A man who built -- Transfigurations -- Dawn Redwood -- Xeriscape -- The far Norway maples -- Sight lines -- The glass constellation.
