Writing in the Still is the first book of poetry from renowned philosopher Andrew Benjamin. Condensing and intensifying a lifetime's work on the imbrication of thinking and writing, poetry and philosophy, art and culture, Benjamin draws on an extraordinary range of images, tones and languages in poems that both sustain and call on thought. Within them angels flee and yet still return, figures form in the opening of light's shadow, and sounds register in a beginning before beginnings. Language opens and continues; holding back while holding forth. Writing that is at once lyrical and passionate, calm and profound, arises from the still of poetry. This is a unique collection from a writer-thinker at the height of his powers.
