The Best Recent Poetry – Review Roundup
Aingeal Clare reviews new collections from Michael Longley (The Candlelight Master), Claudia Rankine (Just Us: An American Conversation), David Morley (Fury), and Pascale Petit (Tiger Girl). "Petit," she writes, "is a passionate laureate of the natural world, but alive to the cruelty of human depredation, as when she encounters a man sewing an owl’s eyes shut."

What Sparks Poetry:
Susan Tichy on "In Country That Is Rough, But Not Difficult, One Sees Where One Is & Where One Is Going at the Same Time"
"My home mountain range, the Colorado Sangre de Cristo, is an 80-mile fault-block uplift, with ten summits over 14,000 feet....Walking there for the last forty years has helped me learn that place is neither fixed nor purely spatial, but temporary and temporal, contingent and unstable, an intersection of forces I happen to encounter (and take part in) during my brief time on earth and briefer time as walker through a landscape. Here & now is a knot, and all its strands are moving." |
