Man and Camel: Poems
Mark Strand’s Man and Camel: Poems is a compelling collection that deftly navigates the terrain between the surreal and the profoundly human. With a voice both erudite and accessible, Strand explores themes of existence, memory, and transformation, often employing vivid imagery that lingers long after the page is turned. The titular poem, as well as others throughout the volume, captures the elusive nature of identity and the subtle interplay between the familiar and the strange. This collection is a testament to Strand’s masterful command of language and his ability to evoke deep emotional resonance within a refined, sophisticated poetic framework.
