Summary

The Sophist was first published by Sun & Moon Press in 1987 and has been unavailable for well over a decade. A pivotal book for Bernstein, The Sophist demonstrated his great range of subject matter, style, and genre. By contrasting wildly different approaches to poetry, Bernstein not only questions the intrinsic value of any given form but also provides a model for his later heterogeneous books, including My Way and With Strings . If sophism is the opposite of both philosophy and the lyric, then The Sophist is model for a rhetorical poetry that interrogates truth in the name of reason.

Excerpts

Why I Am Not a Christian One holds these promises (holds to them) amidst the make-believe mayhem of another day each farther from that resolution in renouncing aspired to as cat its pawn. You always throw it down but you never pick it up. Everything everywhere circumscribed by its physical, which is to say habitual array, the necessity to order what is otherwise always possible. The frequent opportunities I have possessed of observing the thousand acts of amiability and kindness, feeling by conduct turned to expectation and ripened to remorse. You cannot suppose and cannot not to. The freight is slumberous friend to a commoded journey - nearly a smile or only a poor bred thing. Profits will never displace the value of this self-made masquerade.
