Somewhere In Space (Osu Journal Award Poetry)

The poems in Talvikki Ansel's Somewhere in Space work to locate us in this world and its mix of the made and natural, the cultivated and untamable. Faced with such mysteries and intricacies as the water-conducting tissue of trees, the sensory abilities of vultures, the lives of past writers (Edith Södergran, Bruno Schulz), and fragments of history and our tenuous connections to them, the poems acknowledge the difficulty of authority, yet continue with their forays. Invented characters coexist with observations of mergansers and moths, orioles and cats; "Particulars rock / just inside the breakwater / like conjured up skiffs." 9780814252246 0814252249 69 BOOK Poetry NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=6VA8rgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
