02.12: Mary Szybist
2013-01-15 00:37:54| Powells Books Events Calendar
In Incarnadine (Graywolf Press), Mary Szybist, National Book Critics Circle Award finalist, restlessly seeks out places where meaning might take on new color. One poem is presented as a diagrammed sentence. Another is an abecedarium made of lines of dialogue spoken by girls overheard while assembling a puzzle. Several poems arrive as a series of Annunciations, while others purport to give an update on Mary, who must finish the dishes before she will open herself to God. Inside these poems is a deep yearning — for love, motherhood, the will to see things as they are and speak. Beautiful and inventive, Incarnadine is the new collection by one of America's most ambitious poets.
