Through poetry, Jenna Butler pieces together the life of a cherished grandmother lost to Alzheimer’s.
Jenna Butler draws on her own experiences of her grandmother''s disappearance into senile dementia to reassemble a sensual world in longpoem form that positively crackles with imagery and rhythm. Identities and memories flow and flicker as she strings together fragments of narrative into stories that comprise one woman''s life. It entwines her disappearing life with that of the persona of the woman''s granddaughter through a choreographed confusion of identities: of she''s and I''s. Few poets could execute this with convincing solemnity, while simultaneously recovering the dignity of the sufferer and her loved ones. Butler does. Poetry lovers, critics and scholars, and readers who crave a deft style charged with honest emotion should read Wells.
