Poetry. The problem as I see it is this: either I see too much or I don't see enough. Too much or not enough. I heard you. It's never going to be easy, knowing what to put in and what to leave out. Varifocal. Photochromic.—"Optical." ANTI-BEAUTY, Anthony Barnett's newest volume of poems and prose poems, is by turns rich and stark, whole and broken, smooth narration and jolting wordplay.
