Twenty-One After Days

4.2/5 ( ratings)

Poetry. "Lisa Lubasch's rich extended poem, TWENTY-ONE AFTER DAYS, snarls and snags the comfortable fabric we perceive as knowledge. Her ingenious knittong of language--a "luminous scatter"--skillfully works a continuous syntactic suspension: tugged between entry and obstacle, "lingering--on the brink of conjecture--what is imminent is the chasing." The threadbare schemes by which we make meaning and narrative are exposed here; certainty is revealed as sorrowfully impossilbe. Yet we are persuaded with the poet that "patience may bloom backward into knowledge." The empathetic intelligence from which this poetry emerges offers consolation, a deft cupping of "the form's suggestion."--Elizabeth Robinson. Lisa Lubasch's previous collections are TO TELL THE LAMP, VICINITIES, and HOW MANY MORE OF THEM ARE YOU?, all currently available from SPD.
