As echoed in one epigraph from Emerson, these poems capture 'the Exact and the Vast' of consciousness in intense lyric verse with an angular and almost scientific sensitivity. Here is a speaker intent on discovery: 'Oh whole world, we choose / another.' This award-winning collection simmers with wit as Brodak confronts tragedy, childhood losses, transcendent love, and the question of art itself. Tinged with a suffering - 'I was the littlest wastebasket. I was my own church. Except - scared, scared"" - that rises above personal sorrow, her fierce and painterly poems redefine nature and art and what exists between: 'Lately, there is spangled shade in my space / and a cold apple orchard to tend in place of consciousness'. As Reginald Shepherd said about the poems in Brodak's first collection, the chapbook ""Instructions for a Painting"", 'her world is 'small enough to sing in all directions,' and large enough to take us there'.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Weight: 333gAuthor: Molly BrodakGenre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Iowa Poetry Prize SeriesItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 166mmItem Width: 7mmRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
