Poetry. Echoing the pastoral and elegiac modes of the Romantic poets, Sina Queyras's stunning new collection explores the infrastructures and means of modern mobility. Addressing the human project not as something imposed on nature but as an increasingly disturbing activity within it, EXPRESSWAY exposes the paradox of modern movement and connection. "Cleanse the doors of perception," Blake urged, and with that in mind, Queyras has written a bravely lyrical critique of our ethical and ecological imprint. Every brush stroke, every bolt and nut, every form and curve in our networks of oil and rubber, every thought and its material outcome--each decision can make or unmake us. Also available from SPD is Queyras's LEMON HOUND, also from Coach House Books.
