Poetry. The curios thing about this book is that the title is also the title of each of the individual poems as well, the book is divided into two parts, the first features poems written in stanzas of a page or so length in a usual lyric format, the second section is a long poem in large font capitals that reduces each line to a single word. This last long poem is also called Satellite Strains. This is poetry worth reading, I did.

About this title

Synopsis

Poetry. In SATELLITE STRAINS, Blitz puts the idea of "strain" and its multiple applications at the center of an elaborate constellation of "turned"--and finely tuned phrases. "You said it/quickly and in a strict sense I heard/something else," he writes. This "strict sense" keeps picking up different strains in words, fragments of meaning enmeshed in a crosshatched pattern of precision and distortion: "even the quality of the sadness is a matter/of taste/or the matter, when you ask/what is."

"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
