Description
Linda Ravenswood’s magnificent [collection] a poem is a house is a work of address. It speaks to complex figures dwelling in the inscape and the outscape of the text. It acknowledges its imagination. The speaker and, perhaps, the writer and/or the reader are actively involved … floating, dissolving, life-making, jagged, transparent, transformative … These are some of the existential conditions that the work carries, [in] glaciers of text, broken into bodies of different shapes, densities, colors, rhythms, destinations, desires.
—Juan Felipé Herrera, U.S. Poet Laureate (2015-2017) and author of
Notes on the Assemblage
an aetiology of wings on a whyt laytee
or metaphor for the borderland
in the voice of the mother of Malinzin
I came home to find I’d forgotten to let the ghost out
the whole length of summer
it was dead, of course
crouching like an iron skillet to the floor
a snug door stop
some mother purse
Get rid of it I blazed in the mirror
even as one was in the throes
of doing just that.
Holding it at handletail
I watched it
being marshaled to the bins
one always forgets something when one leaves home
one day one’ll come it’ll all be burnt
