Description
Poetry. "Here are visitations to take us by surprise: advances of the supernatural into daily life, and journeys actual or imagined that shock or soothe by depth of inquiry. A dragonfly serves as guide, a leaf poses as lover, a room transforms into night museum to hold the day’s mental acquisitions. Chekhov gets summoned to Brooklyn; Burns repeats advice near meadows of milkweed. Physical labor occurring within old dwellings offer paeans to the past, juxtaposed against explorations of expulsion and homelessness. Here one finds scenes lit solely by lightning or observations by the unborn that invite us by turns to refuse and accept what it means to be mortal."—Margot Farrington
