literature and fiction,poetry, This gripping suite of twelve dreams, infused with the conflict along the border of Mexico and the United States, traces humanity's addiction to violence and killing-from boys stepping on ants to men shooting animals, men shooting women, men shooting enemies. The Dreams begin in a desert landscape where poverty and wealth grate against each other, and the ever present war becomes "as invisible as the desert sands we trample on." The dreams, however, move toward a greater peace with S�enz providing an unforgettable reading experience.From "The Fourth Dream: Families and Flags and Revenge":I don't believe a flag is important enough to kiss- or even burn.Some men would hate me enough to kill me if they read these words."Rage," S�enz said in an interview, "must be a component of any writer's life. But this rage must also be contained-otherwise our very bodies will become chaos-our minds will become chaos. We need order." S�enz finds that order in poems, transforming his rage into something "more beautiful and gracious and forgiving."Poet and novelist Benjamin S�enz has written 10 books of poetry and prose, most recently In Perfect Light (HarperCollins). He was a Catholic priest, doing missionary and charity work in London, Tanzania, and the barrio parishes of El Paso, Texas. Upon leaving the priesthood, he was awarded a Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University. He teaches in the MFA.
