"I fell in love with Crosby, Stills, and Nash's song 'Southern Cross' when I was fifteen. By the time I got to college, 'I'm going to sail around the world someday' was sort of my pickup line." Continue »

Publisher Comments:

Winner of the 2001 Fence Modern Poets Series Prize, selected by Allen Grossman.

Synopsis:

With the persistent, dappled vision of an ecstatic pragmatist, Joyelle McSweeney sees things as they are through the modern knothole: Up on the hill, / a white tent had just got unsteadily to its feet/ like a foal or a just-foaled cathedral. Eventuality, as it is delicately shaded by the fine and fearless intelligence of these kinesthetic arrangements, coincides with imaginative possibility; the resulting poems are as much mind as place; much galaxy as time-inevitable and correct as only true whimsy can be.

Outside, the web of tenthousandthings;/ inside here, only three: filmstrip of a helicopter's shadow;/ against an Antarctic wall; silkscreen/ of the grand central ceiling. The idealized landscape-/ I want a room in it.
