| Summary: | D.S. Waldman's Atria is a breathtaking debut collection, experimental and elegiac in its every phrase. Grounded by museum visits and musings on modern art, these poems guide readers through exhibit halls, past the paintings of Basquiat and Frida Khalo, pausing to absorb their color, their careful shaping, the memories evoked in their presence. Disability, intimacy and the loss of a brother punctuate the work, guiding the speaker's cascading meditations on art, poetry and critical interpretation. This is a collection that both looks and reflects, turning memories to be examined in new light under the poet's keen gaze. An acute exploration of presence and absence, proximity and distance, Atria is a rich and prismatic debut from an arresting new voice in poetry. |
