"The poems in The Eye Like a Strange Balloon find their beginnings in paintings, film, video, photographs, and collage, and the end results are something more than a sum of their parts. Beginning with a painting done in 2003, the poems move backward in time to 1 B.C., where an architectural fragment is painted on an architectural fragment, highlighting visual art's strange relationship between the image and the thing itself. The total effect is exhilarating - a wholly original, personal take on art history coupled with Bang's commentary on poetry's enduring subjects: Love, Death, Time, and Desire."--BOOK JACKET.
