Poems by Marjorie
Welish
"Very
few American poets explore the mechanisms of lyric voicing,
poetic syntax and poetic logic with the determined focus
of Marjorie Welish. We witness the dynamic play of likeness
and difference, paradox and disjunction, while embarking
on a path of startling turns or tropes. Space seems
to reconfigure itself as we proceed, revealing new dimensions
and folds. Space of the page, the room, the stanza.
Fresh air pouring in."—Michael Palmer
Word
Group advances verbal experiment through a music
of abstract ideas and precise imagination. With the
resources of Language School poetics and New American
Poetry, this collection breaks new ground by engaging
the critical strategies necessary for creating a lyric
poem.
