As the title of The Not Forever suggests, these poems take not only mortality, but also the impossibility of truly assessing mortality, as their endlessly inexplicable subject. Keith Waldrop’s language is, by turns, wry, brazen, brilliant, humorous, sorrowful, and entirely unforgettable as he focuses upon all that cannot be absorbed by the logical mind’s measure of aging and loss. Waldrop is a master at discerning what is recognizable within the “not” of our attention whether it is an attention to the future, the past, or to that instant we call the present, which is the most impossible to grasp. His canny meditations make the particulars of daily life shine with an uncanny brilliance as he assesses the quintessentially human inability to exact knowledge from the existence that we live, as well as from the inexistence that we each are veering toward. A major force in American avantgarde poetics for decades, Waldrop gives us an emotionally compelling, intellectually demanding articulation of what living in full awareness of the “not forever” means.

Vitruvius' lodd er en gjendiktning av The Plummet of Vitruvius, tredje bok i Keith Waldrops trilogi Transcendental Studies, som han mottok den amerikanske National Book Award for i 2009. Boken er et montasjeverk; Waldrop klipper og limer, i første rekke fra en amerikansk oversettelse av Vitruvius' De architectura, det eneste læreverket om byggekunst som er bevart fra antikken, samt fra en mengde andre fag- og skjønnlitterære tekster. Resultatet er, med gjendikterens ord, «et enestående eksempel på hvordan en moderne komposisjonsteknikk kombinert med romantisk følsomhet kan bryte nytt land». Med Jørn H. Sværens gjendiktning introduseres Keith Waldrop for første gang for norske lesere.

This compelling selection of recent work by internationally celebrated poet Keith Waldrop presents three related poem sequences - "Shipwreck in Haven," "Falling in Love through a Description," and "The Plummet of Vitruvius" - in a virtuosic poetic triptych. In these quasi-abstract, experimental lines, collaged words torn from their contexts take on new meanings. Waldrop, a longtime admirer of such artists as the French poet Raymond Queneau and the American painter Robert Motherwell, imposes a tonal override on purloined materials, yet the originals continue to show through. These powerful poems, at once metaphysical and personal, reconcile Waldrop's romantic tendencies with formal experimentation, uniting poetry and philosophy and revealing him as a transcendentalist for the new millennium.

Not exactly a novel and not really a poem, though it contains some verses and is not without characters, this work describes a man late in life who has been around and who's thought about what he has seen and heard. He is a unique geezer, whose trains of thought seem often on tracks without station or schedule.
