Scrimmage of Appetite
Description
In the midst of danger and disintegration, in poems ambitious and political without being sententious or partisan, Davis turns to the power of words for a way to reconcile the irreconcilable, praising language as a rich, entangled, inexhaustible source of solace and meaning. With Scrimmage of Appetite, Jon Davis has fulfilled Wallace Stevens's image of a poet 'merciless / To accomplish the truth in his intelligence'.
