Product Description
One of America's most acclaimed younger poets entwines original and scavenged texts, lyric fragment and lyric song, to make a new form -- this book -- from wild metaphor. Dan Beachy-Quick has said that he sees the work of poetry (reading and writing) as parallel patterns. Language is a nest where the minds of poet and reader can dwell. A migratory bird's nest also offers a place of dwelling in the pauses between astounding miles of flight. A nest is made of both natural and artificial, happenstance materials (grass and twigs, but also grocery lists, threads from clothing, detritus from humans, literally what is found by the side of the road), and likewise the poem in this book has been made from gatherings and improvisations and unexpected opportunities, a shapely motley.
