The Europe of Trusts: Poetry
The Europe of Trusts contains three brilliant, long-unavailable books which Susan Howe first published in the early 1980s: The Liberties, Pythagorean Silence, and Defenestration of Prague. These are the landmark books--following her volumes from the previous decade (Hinge Picture, Chanting at the Crystal Sea, Cabbage Gardens, and Secret History of the Dividing Line)--which established Howe as "one of America's foremost experimental writers" (Publishers Weekly). "Her work," as Geoffrey O'Brien put it, "is a voyage of reconnaissance in language, a sounding out of ancient hiding places, and it is a voyage full of risk. 'Words are the only clues we have, ' she has said. 'What if they fail us?'"

Praise for this book
Now a subtle blend, now a violent collision of poetry and scholarship...Howe is staking everything on the venture that theory and practice, artifice and application, are perpetually and messily entwined. It is a proposition that seems self-evident, and at the same time seldom in evidence.--Brian Lemmon "The Boston Review"
Howe's images, being historical as well as biographical, have the eerie shading of ghosts half-believed-in, giving...a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere reminiscent of Borges at his sharpest.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
As one of the country's leading experimental poets...Howe knows that there is a "war-whoop in each dusty narrative" and words have the power to emancipate a person from the manacles of one's false self; they have the power to connect the present with the past and form with content.-- "Magill's Literary Annual"
