Poetry. This series of poems by Black Ocean Press' Poetry Editor in Chicago embodies its title perfectly as it explores the paradox of form and function in life and language. Quiet without being subdued, intelligent without being obtuse, and deeply affecting without resorting to melodrama, this book carries itself into the reader with arresting honesty and simplicity that is at once harsh and elegant. "Her spare lyrics emphasize the role of the individual surrounded with the ineffable qualities of silence and empty space: 'If there is a footnote to absence,' she writes, 'it is the beating heart.'"-Coldfront Magazine.
