Offering a series of poems rooted in the profoundly narrative yet disorienting experience of losing a loved one, Prageeta Sharma, in Grief Sequence, summons all of her resources in order to attempt any semblance, poetic or otherwise, of clear sense in trauma. In doing so she shows that grief, frustrating to logic and yet as real as any experience we might know, is ripe for the sort of intellectual and emotional processing of which poetry is most capable.
What happens when a dreamer explores perverse and imperfect origins? An anthropoetic meditation on colonial racial violence in Central America.
2014 Fence Modern Poets Series winner Jennifer Mackenzie's debut is a travelogue of embodied intellect and flights of gorgeous observance.
"Taking her cues from folktale, legend, and fable, Elizabeth Robinson has reinvented the 'uses of enchantment.' Robinson calibrates the motion between fear, apprehension, and knowledge--comprehension at the crux of human imagining. She shows, with a minimalist's precision and a logician's attention to linguistic morphology, how the often bleak agenda of the real capitulates to the moral restitution of the true; how our need to tell stories enjambs faith and enlightenment. This is a work of uncanny persuasion." -- Ann Lauterbach
Christopher Janke stops at nothing, not even the end of a line of verse, in the expression of forment. These meditations, set upon the synapses of a rat in embryo under knife, achieve potency through their own expression of nerve. Disjunctive and epistemic, the poems consider consciousness and demonstrate its wide, inchoate eye. By turns ferocious and goofy in the service of their largest aims, these lines describe and evidence the springing of the animal mind into being.
