Vow
by Kristina Marie Darling
Kristina Marie Darling's latest collection, Vow, stunningly enacts the ominous anachronism
of the word vow itself-"promises committing one to a prescribed role, calling, or
course of action, typically to marriage or a monastic career." In this airy, white-spaced
book of veils and concealment, the wordless invisibilities of the institution of
marriage are glimpsed, but only from the margins, in deft footnotes to blank/missing
text and haunting fragments-situating the ghostly bride behind the battlements of
a moldering mansion, or castle, filled with endlessly locked rooms from which there
is no escape barring catastrophes such as fire, or suicidal leaping. Evoking the
Gothic domestic spaces of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, Vow startles and speaks
through the uncanny silences of white space, echoing the erasure and effacement
of the wedding gown, the growing silences of the marriage hidden behind the vow,
as-powerfully, heartbreakingly-the frozen couple locked inside desperately make
"paper wings and little box kites, hoping they'd bear us over the iron gates."
-Lee Ann Roripaugh, Author of On the Cusp of a Dangerous Year

Irritations, Excrement & Wipes
by Jared Schickling
For the first nine months it's like watching an approaching storm on a black and
white TV. And when the static clouds, thumps and clicks turn warm and writhing
in your arms, you're already in the teeth of it and it's only just begun. In two
parts, Jared's work here records and enacts the terror of the expectant parent
as well as the exhausted idiocy of he who is led around by the ankle. Jared's book
doesn't list the so many things that can go wrong with the building storm inside
her (though it does), but instead presents the reader with the bizarre eros of
gestation and the old weirdness of not knowing what or how it will come. The family
triangle becomes the prism by which one's sense of self is shattered, and the second
part of the book offers a schizophrenic spectrum of voices that the tired hand,
ear and eye record. If having a child is to enter into a permanent relationship
with a stranger, this is it. "The dream of the person telling the story is in his
parents' house, walking up the stairs. His insides will display a series of gestures
until he finds his bedroom full of raccoons, who will in the final twist be babies."
No place is safe; the storm never breaks; nothing is cute except as a side-effect
of this strange and serious work. My two boys, both under two, are asleep upstairs
right now. In its two parts, Jared's work reminds me, as hard as it is to be us,
it's so hard to be them.
-Andrew Rippeon, author of Priests + Flights

Flux
by Jane Joritz-Nakagawa
In Jane Joritz-Nakagawa's FLUX, we encounter a poetic temperament equally at home
in the openness of the personal lyric and the laser-sharp probe of social commentary.
In her dexterous handling of lineation and compression, the poems oscillate- challenging
us to reconsider just about everything we hold dear. Some things, as she says, cannot
be translated; yet, with the help of these poems, we are better prepared for what
the strange world offers us.
