Pitt Poetry Series
by Professor David Wojahn
World Tree is in many respects, David Wojahn’s most ambitious collection to date; especially notable is a 25-poem sequence of ekphrastic poems, "Ochre," which is accompanied by a haunting series of drawings and photographs of Neolithic Art and anonymous turn of the last century snapshots.
Wojahn continues to explore the themes and approaches which he is known for, among them the junctures between the personal and political, a giddy mixing of high and pop culture references, and a deep emotional engagement with whatever material he is writing about.
"Starred Review. Oscillating between epistles, nocturnes, homage, 'web prayers,' and ekphrastics, Wojahn demonstrates his formal mettle across a range of subjects as diverse as the poems they inhabit." - Publishers Weekly
