Description
The poems in Variations on Dawn and Dusk are deeply engaged with Robert Irwin's installation at the old hospital in Marfa, Texas. This remarkable structure, built from walls, windows, and screens, is transformed by the sun's changing light, creating an ever-shifting landscape of colour and form. Dan Beachy-Quick uses language to participate in this elegant transformation, crafting poems that move with the light as it slides through the surfaces of the installation. The poet's fervent observations lead us on cycles of meditation, exploring the very foundation of our vision - light - which forms the vocabulary from which these poems are built. The poems in this collection are constructed with an architectural framework, using rhythmic procedures to tie together the first and last words of each poem, as well as linking the number of lines to the number of syllables in the first line. This thoughtful consistency invites us to move and meditate with each variation of light.
