Description
Poetry. The poems of Noelle Kocot's latest collection are ones of acute astonishment, tracking the intense spiritual and ecstatic elements that pervade the everyday world, the "fine surges of torrential / Probabilities" amid the "flotsam strewn under this compromised / Heaven." Bleak yet full of glory, these poems are a quest that showcases a poet at her visionary and poetic heights, where every turn of line, every sudden appearance, is one to arrest our attention and thought.
