Rumored Place

Poetry. RUMORED PLACE, Rob Halpern's first book, combines a near confessional narrative of physical passion with the documentation of "social fact." "The book," he states, "is situated between subjective desire and objective need." Any reader making way through RUMORED PLACE will feel intimations of transformation creeping all around the dark horizon. Here history is both fantasy and nightmare and this examination of it "a bad conscience that needs to become critique." "With an extraordinary soulful ferocity, Rob Halpern's new work commits itself to a lyric interrogation of power" — Camille Roy.
