Together / Apart and other poems
Poems on relationship, intimacy, and longing, the poetics of postcards, and places real and imagined.
Description
This book of prose poems is a collection of collaged visual images—some randomly recollected—others noted as the author apprehended them. Woven through the visual images are descriptions of sensation/perception that arise with the memory of place.
The collection has three parts: 'Together/Apart' is specifically a subjective excavation of relationships, 'Postcards' speaks to a lifelong attachment to correspondence and its directness, and 'Place' is about situations/places that the author has invented or re-imagined.
