Publisher Description: Compelling, appealing, cinematic . . . Rekdal refreshes the meaning and the image of being displaced in this world. --The Boston Globe Rekdal's work deeply satisfies, for it witnesses and wonders over the necessary struggles of human awareness and being. --Rain Taxi In acknowledging the disappointing facts of our existence and singing her way into its amazement, she has created poetry that lives alongside the misery we sometimes witness--and sometimes cause. --Slate Paisley Rekdal questions how identity and being inhabit metaphorical and personified vessels, from blown glass and soap bubbles to skulls unearthed at the Colorado State Mental Institution. Whether writing short lyrics or a sonnet sequence celebrating Mae West, Rekdal's intellectually inquisitive and carefully researched poems delight in sound, meter, and head-on engagement. Illustrated with twelve Andrea Modica photographs. From You're: Vague as fog and turnip--hipped, a creel of eels Paisley Rekdal is the author of four books of poetry, a book of personal essays, and a mixed media book of photography, poetry, fiction and non-fiction. She lives in Salt Lake City and teaches at the University of Utah. |
