A pop surreal romp reckoning with lyric buoyancy through a mythic apocalypse, mysteriously stark and playful. We meet voices trying to survive, reconcile their own belonging, maybe, that drop in and out of a mystic narrative. What happens in the aftermath of brutality? What do you do? The poems begin to break down even their own authority. The landscape is itself too unsettled; the form varies and reflects this endless transformation of embodiment and interrogation. What can be recovered, if anything, through an uninterrupted interrogation of memory, category, and language-an unbroken attention to the speaker's own authority. Creating an architecture and landscape that expresses both a ruination of cultural time and an eternity of interior time, confession and lyric become as much about the I as the you/we"--  |c Provided by publisher.
