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.
