Ă propos de ce livre
Disquiet is a collection of poems that utilizes natural phenomenaâa bright beach, a fallen tree limb, the weight of gravityâto evoke and reflect upon memory and human experience. The poems are structurally innovative, each shaped around a central axis as they trace the speaker's growth from childhood to adulthood. Acute observations resonate throughout the book as its focus shifts from the natural world to the world of the madeâthe grocery cart or pie-case or microscopeâto the world of visual art, and then back. The poems are subtly braided together in a way reminiscent of the invisible bonds that unite snowflakes or cells.

and clamberedout of my crib
over the dresserto the small screened window
where I perchedbirds flickeringaround their nest

from the farmhousein upstate New York
I came toin a white roomthe broken face
of my motherlooking downwith wires
attached to mea human child
