The Long Moment
A gorgeous and brilliant book, a work of complex sensuousness and deep intelligence. Its four major sequences are each formally distinct, but the works are all related to one another in being addressed to the material world and what, in ?return to a new physics, ? Fagan calls ?systems and embodiments.?

Praise for this book
The opening and closing sequences are nothing less than brilliant adventures. Silence and nothingness mingle with the world, with otherness, with the bodies of lovers, to produce complex and engaging fugues.--David McCooey
Fagan, in typical post-language internationalist style, utilises lyric to produce an effect that is both concrete and casual. But it also convinces: "we step into locations / and change them, or they happen to us." With Fagan there is no preamble, no setting up of the poet's stall, no hang-up about 'voice.' The simple statement above immediately questions itself but without angst; the tone is cool and open. The compression and control here, the artifice used to give the impression of saying so much with so little, produces a poetry not strictly dependent on the character of its author, a poetry which works with its muse at one remove.--Tim Allen
