- Summary
- This stunning, wry collection is a tonic, triggering memory and the knowledge that we all enter poems in medias res—from anywhere. Rhythmic fragments or grand paragraphs, Float becomes its own mixing board. At times you hear it almost disappear, then reappear as “total sound.” In a long poem titled “Times of Day,” one vertical, vital string, the words “Zoo/ Cage/ Jazz” track to John Cage because of interventions earlier in the book, a startling elegy within and without. Cooked or raw, from the title to the end notes, possibilities abound. Alluring, captivating, it’s a must-read! — Norma Cole.
