Description
Carol Moldaw's third collection explores new territory in poetry, featuring three long sequences that delve into art and artifact. The poems reference narrative but move beneath it, examining the process of creation and perception through a series of carefully crafted observations. Attracting charged material like a lightning field attracts lightning, the poems draw on diverse sources to create a restless and rewarding reading experience. Through a nuanced insistence on making and remaking, Moldaw's work invites the reader to engage with the world in degrees, rather than as a whole. With its technical precision and thematic depth, this collection is a notable addition to the poetic landscape.
