To read Night Flight is to
fall down a rabbit hole of startling means for knowing nature--and the
nature of the self--through the physical and metaphysical, the rational,
intuitive and mystical; to ride night like a jockey, to translate its
language into new modes of knowing, to hypnotize the self with study,
and to gaze into a mirror and see reflected--a collective unconscious.
Kenneth Frost has whispered "into fire's//ear" and lived to tell the
tale, in spare, painterly language that reads like imagism on steroids.
Praise for Night Flight:
“Kenneth Frost's…focus on emptiness, darkness, and unknowing is a vital antidote to the world's flood tide of noise and distraction....Yet the darkness is met, and matched, and lived with.” —Capital Weekly
“With clarity, purpose, and economy, Frost writes with a fresh and succinct quality reminiscent of A.R. Ammons and Carl Sandburg.” —Jonathan K. Rice
