Description
Poetry. Women's Studies. "In Julie Danho's THOSE WHO KEEP ARRIVING, the personal is political and the political is terrifying. Danho faces this terror and transcends it to make stunning poems about creating a home and family. She often employs the ekphrasis mode, seeing well-known visual pieces anew, using them as vehicles for exploration. She also writes her own character studies in American Landscape and other forms. In 'Abstraction,' a sonogram is imagined as art on a wall called 'Moon, Clouds, / Volcano Taken From Above.' The glittering surfaces of her elegant poems are as fascinating as their substance."—Denise Duhamel
