Sinopsis

CLOSE APARTby Robert CowanPublished by Paloma PressISBN: 978-1-7323025-0-1Library of Congress Control Number: 2018942360From Donna Masini, author ofá4:30 Movieá(Norton), &ldquo,Close Apartábegins on a subway, in a community of passengers, with a child in distress, a city in blackout. It&rsquo,s a generous, deeply empathetic book filled with characters, stories and a remarkable tenderness&mdash,for the suffering and vulnerability of children, for the flawed adults they become. A father&rsquo,s delight in his daughter&rsquo,s wacky imagination finds a surprising echo in Cowan&rsquo,s brainy, sophisticated and wittyáspeaker who can move from quantity theory to all manner of magical thinking and numerical rationalization in his restless questions, his attempts to make sense of a chaotic and troubling world.&rdquo,Robert Cowanáis a literature professor and dean at the City University of New York. He&rsquo,s also the author ofáThe Indo- German Identification: Reconciling South Asian Origins and European Destinies, 1765-1885á(Camden House, 2010) andáTeaching Double Negatives: Disadvantage and Dissent at Community Collegeá(Peter Lang, 2018). This is his first collection of poetry.
