The Area of Sound Called The Subtone - Softcover

Noah Eli Gordon is an American poet, born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1975. Gordon was educated at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He currently teaches at the University of Colorado at Denver. His work has appeared in numerous national and international journals and magazines.

"Gordon's work fuses the risky linguistics of language poetry with a fresh, lyrical ambience that results in hyper-surrealistic prose poems."

         --Ray González, The Bloomsbury Review

"In the shatter of each successive frame of reference, we hear amassing a sensually pitched cycle of resonances, which enlarge our receptivity to the physical, the phenomenal properties of language, and which engage in relational patterning beyond the confines of logic and the trajectories we expect meaning to follow. Such an "area of sound" tests the mind's resources, but in so doing enlarges our own adaptive capacity to use language to press the parameters of reality."
