Hix's newest poetry book, \u003ci\u003eChromatic\u003c\/i\u003e, bears as its epigraph the philosopher Baruch de Spinoza's assertion that \"desire is the very nature or essence of every single individual.\" The three sequences of poems in \u003ci\u003eChromatic\u003c\/i\u003e test that claim. Each has a borrowed title: \"Remarks on Color\" from Ludwig Wittgenstein, \"Eighteen Maniacs\" from Duke Ellington, and \"The Well-Tempered Clavier\" from J.S. Bach. Exploiting those predecessors, the poems in \u003ci\u003eChromatic\u003c\/i\u003e explore the full range of effects caused by human desire, from ecstasy to suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eChromatic\u003c\/i\u003e was a National Book Award fi nalist for poetry in 2006.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e H.
