Poetry. "Looking and observing are different. According to Wittgenstein, 'One observes in order to see what one would not see if one did not observe.' With that in mind, I would say that Roger Mitchell's poems are full of revelatory observations on nature, culture, and language. Breezy, skeptical, and elegiac by turn, in BRAID, Mitchell intertwines what's most elusive with what's closest at hand, and we come away from his work having seen very much indeed" -Elaine Equi.
