The subject matter of these poems is ordinary: motherhood, marriage, sexuality, middle age, ambivalence, mortality, and the American Midwest. But in addressing these subjects, Laura Kasischke finds and reveals the strangeness of the most common traditions and dilemmas.
The subject matter of these poems is ordinary: motherhood, marriage, sexuality, middle age, ambivalence, mortality, the Midwest. But in addressing these topics, Laura Kasischke finds and reveals the strangeness of the most common traditions and dilemmas. These are poems that work to fuse reality and dream, life and death, logic and illogic. Kasischke precisely renders the experience we have of ourselves as physical and time-bound beings existing in a psychological and spiritual realm that seems to have no barriers or laws. The poems in this collection are both narrative and lyric, grounded in reality but also surreal, at once fully realized and merely hinting at what might be.
