About the Author Sidney Burris, associate professor of English and director of the Fulbright College Honors Program at the University of Arkansas, is the author of the poetry collection A Day at the Races and Seamus Heaney and the Pastoral Tradition. Product Description In Doing Lucretius, Sidney Burris crosses a sensibility shaped by a classical education with a contemporary culture that ?nds such an education increasingly remote and forbidding. Molding his artistry and buttressing his response to modern society with the literature of the ancient world, Burris displays in his work an unabashed reverence for the various traditionsliterary, cultural, familialthat guide him, but maintains that these conventions must now and again be interrogated and overthrown.The poems trace several themes through the poets boyhood to the threshold of his middle age: ?ight, escape, distance, cultural displacementthemes that are strained by the counterpressures of literary, political, and artistic impulses. The desire for ?ight and its attendant concerns are foremost among these motifs?ight to the sea, to love in all its varied and alluring forms, even to dying in its many manifestations.With these modes of motion comes an obsession with historical characters who have had their own travails resolved by ?ight, both psychological and actual: Achilles, Ulysses, Circe, and above all Lucretius, Virgil, and Dante, the perennial sustainers. There are also friendships recorded throughout the volume that arise out of the poets deep need for a passionate community of nourishing relationships to help him survive the dif?culties of a welllived life, which he describes in The Celebration as the art / of living art / as if arts enough.Blending southern narrative language with the melodic intensity of the impassioned lyric voices of the classical world, Doing Lucretius is a profound and deeply satisfying collection.
