If you're feeling disillusioned by the state of contemporary poetry, check this out. Davis writes fresh, challenging works: cerebral yet visceral and soulful, with a dry humor but never stale. And she goes about collapsing the distinctions we often like to make between verbal and visual media, weaving a painterly touch into her words. Merits many, many repeat readings.
