| book description |

Errant, Gabriel Levinâ€™s sixth collection, opens and ends with invocations: of Venus at dawn and Hesperus at dusk. The bookâ€™s day takes us on a three-part planetary journey. â€˜What Drew Me Onâ€™ is inspired by Tamara Rikmanâ€™s free-floating works on paper and by Platoâ€™s image of the music of the spheres. Ghostly presences are evoked in several poetic forms, including terza rima for the poetâ€™s take on image-making down the ages. â€˜First came sooty beings shinnying up walls.â€™ There are elegies to the cineastes Abbas Kiarostami and Chantal Akerman, as well as translations from Greek and (in villanelle form) from the Medieval Hebrew of Avraham Ibn Ezra. There are aubades, lyrics, and a sequence arranged in short-lined triads of psychic retreat in Jerusalem. The wanderer picks up where he left off in earlier books, striking out from home, conjuring Saâ€™adiâ€™s Gulistan or Nasir-i Khursaw in Cairo; pocketing bits of obsidian on the island of Melos, paying homage to Yannis Ritsos in Crete.
