What Do Numbers Dream Of?

What Do Numbers Dream Of?
By D.A. Feinfeld

“With clarity of observation and brilliance of image, D.A. Feinfeld bids us accompany him to a world in which ordinary people and things are suffused with want and sometimes whimsical beauty. A street-wise prisoner in a federal penitentiary proves actually to be a poet; numbers turn out to be dreamers, and we communicate with the lowly amoeba by cellular phone. These poems are concise and accurate, yet highly evocative. By turns learned, solemn, and humorous, they evoke a wide range of human experience. Their emotional impact grows (and glows) from within, when, suddenly, the reader experiences ‘a gold dazzle’ and feels that ‘our roots [are] pressing the slabs, like moss…’ These are strong poems from a fine new poet.”
-Jack Coulehan, author of THE KNITTED GLOVE and FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS OF HEAVEN

“With wit, sophistication and intelligence, D.A. Feinfeld explores a wide range of interests in his poems. Informed by careful observation and serious reflection, the work also displays his considerable dexterity with language. The poems, at times playful, but always polished, excite the mind and bring the world around us into sharper focus.”
-Natalie Safir, author of MOVING INTO SEASONS and TO FACE THE INSCRIPTION

“ ‘Begin with the way out’. So begins D.A. Feinfeld’s extraordinary collection of verse. He shows us our world with the precision of a skilled diagnostician- in language tender, gripping, lucid, and fresh.”
-Marc Straus, author of SCARLET CROWN and ONE WORD
