Synopsis

Poetry. "Traffic and weather hold all that we know about multipleness in their loose, but insistent embrace. This multiple, seething, singing confluence rises up out of the city of life to join the enigmatic sky and clouds in Durand's magnificent, brutal, delicate epic. It's a stunning achievement"--John Ashbery. "...Presents the city as an organism, often breaking down and always vibrant, set amid a seething landscape that is equally problematic and thriving"--Cole Swensen. Marcella Durand's previous books include WESTERN CAPITAL RHAPSODIES (Faux Press, 2001) and The Anatomy of Oil, which will be published in Spring 2008 by Belladonna books. She is co-editor of an anthology of French poetry forthcoming from Talisman House, and a former editor of the Poetry Project Newsletter.
