The Dark Film, Paul FarleyтАЩs first collection since the highly acclaimed Tramp in Flames, expands the poetтАЩs research into тАШthe art of seeingтАЩ, and all that humans project of themselves into the world. FarleyтАЩs great poetic gift is his ability to switch between the local and the universal, the present and the historical past, with the most apparently effortless of gear changes; he brings to our immediate attention things previously hidden тАУ whether out of sight, in the periphery of our vision, or right under our noses. The Dark Film is a profound meditation on time, on the untold stories of our history, and on the act of human beholding тАУ as well as FarleyтАЩs most richly entertaining and rewarding collection to date.
