Temporary Beast
商品資訊
商品簡介
Interrogations, self-interrogations, examinations, cross-examinations, evocations--all these
modes participate in these poems that actively refuse definition, since the poet, Joanna Solfrian, is in
pursuit of her conscience, the one that asks about being alive, being dead, being a mother, being a
tree. I could say, "You name it," but she does in her distinctly marvelous, nodding-to-Lorca fashion,
truly keeping the reader on metaphorical yet actual toes, reveling (perhaps the most crucial word) in
the powers of imagination that adhere to genuine poetry.--Baron Wormser, author of The History
Hotel
Joanna Solfrian's Temporary Beast shows a high mastery of surprising images and insights in poem
after poem. A sharp, enviable intelligence permeates all her lines; the poems push into the mysteries
of earthly and mystical love, but adhere to a rubric of recognition: the self in the feminine, the self in
the gravitational force of experience, and the self of possession and obsession. The speaker has an
affectionate temperament in the book that is very generous, and as Allen Grossman said, these are
poems about "something the way a cat is about the house." Solfrian's poems have an inherent
strangeness and joy that demand multiple readings.--Sean Singer, author of Today in the Taxi
Formally dexterous and subtly wise, Joanna Solfrian's Temporary Beast offers more than temporary
pleasure for both the mind and the heart. "Buried in these words are instructions for weeping,"
Solfrian writes, and yes, this is true, but this book also contains instructions for so much else: how to
locate the divine & hold a flute; how to tend to a spouse, love a child, grieve a parent; how to delight
in a lover's armpit & run topless through a cornfield. I'm enamored with Solfrian's dedication to the
pen and her keen insight into how--by letting that pen move across the page--we gain access to a
deeper, truer world.--Nicole Callihan, author of This Strange Garment
