In poems at once searing and soft-spoken, The Perishing travels between the bounded reach of personal time and the inexorable sweep of history. A double villannelle tracks the course of genocide from Tamerlane to Pol Pot; a narrative reconnects an exiled South American tyrant in a Paris cafe to the killings fields of the country; the paired photographs of Rwandan refugees and a Serbian sniper lead the poet to ponder the link between beauty and horror, the aesthetics and the political. Santos Sherod fashions a music - whether lyric, narrative, formal, or free - touched with the kind of compassion derived from the lifelong study of the human heart.
