black seeds on a white dish

Exeter: Shearsman Books, 2010. First edition. Paperback. 94pp. Octavo [23cm] Paperback. NEW. Item #23938
ISBN: 9781848611283

From the publisher: The poems in black seeds on a white dish spring from the search for what is generated and discovered when loss and desire occupy the same space. But lamentation is not the primary focus—by destabilizing everything in its reach, loss disables rigidity. These poems shift widely in form and tone, and seeds invoke the creative germ that spurs the metamorphoses occupying them: "Nothing to do but let the form of things take over." Shapes themselves, including punctuation, become a language throughout.
