Pyx (National Poetry)by Corinne Lee
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Pattiann Rogers selected this book for the 2004 National Poetry Series, she praised its original and engaging music, the way Corinne Lee skillfully interweaves wit, playfulness, and a joie de vivre with serious study and meditations. "PYX" takes its title from the box containing the host, a wafer that is transformed into spirit upon consumption. And Lees poems effect similar transformations. Death, adultery, and fractured marriages become occasions for redemption. Scenes from domestic life are juxtaposed with themes from art, philosophy, and literature. "PYX" moves effortlessly between high and low culture, between the mundane, sacred, and profane, exploring the possibilities of language with exhilarating vigor.
"From Always a Strapping Apricot Can Be Found
... the past tells
that at any moment, the martial body
can be scratched. Deeply, of course.
To drag forth a sugared bone
of abalone. "
About the AuthorCorinne Lee's poems have appeared in publications ranging from the Beloit Poetry Journal to Fine Madness.
