520 |a In I Love You But I Don't Speak Your Language, brushes with the profound may lead to brushes with the mundane, or vice versa. Cause and effect become arbitrary and transcendent, at times lifting the arbitrary into the sublime or the sublime into happenstance. Intuitive leaps, both in poems and the reader, pull us through oscillations between humor, introspection and the surreal. These poems don't follow a straight path. Instead, they capture the way thoughts shift, contradict and collide. Inspired by the poet's dreams, as well as travels throughout central Europe, the West Indies and Central and South America, the words are alive in voice and detail, yet the speaker's connections, and more so, disconnections, turn toward isolationism, solitude and loneliness. At times, the collection leans into restless emotion. "It was during my wide-awake / nightmare of conflicting emotions / that I began to feel this way." Other moments pull the reader to "a far away place / of limitless palm trees and sunsets." This is poetry that doesn't try to fit into a traditional form. It questions, observes and rethinks the world around it. Some poems might seem absurd, others deeply reflective, but all of them work together to create a book that is both thought-provoking and unpredictable.
