 On Featherston's Into the Earth

The title of Dan Featherston's Into the Earth perfectly suggests his push toward clarity, depth, and what Hölderlin calls Quelle, or source. One sequence, "Orpheus and Eurydice," deals with the descent natural to love, song, and language. Eurydice was "a thing he could not say / whose silence tore him to shreds." This is a book of the essential—of light, darkness, music, and silence. It has a lovely sense of architecture and balance, but its force is mystical: "There are shadows in the hand" and "The interior of God is language." This is a book rich with desire, not for the mere world of social memory but for the complexity of the All.—Paul Hoover

 On Featherston’s United States

 These poems bear witness to various atrocities at large and domestically, but also to the role that liberal Democratic ideology plays in the atrocities of genocide and cultural imperialism. Poets like Dan Featherston go a long way toward making the reader aware of the artifice of politics and the poetics of ideology. In this way, poets can be more than spectators. Featherston is certainly more than a spectator—it is his lyric vision and the communitarian commitment of his collection that reminds the reader that poetry is, in fact, a public act.—Richard Deming
