"If you think a complete sentence expresses a complete thought, forget it. Lesle Lewis' elegant sentences non-sequitur into uncanny compilations that are never done. We feel them going on, building beyond the page. Juxtaposing the rolling rhythms of prose with distinctly poetic content, Lewis has come up with another incisively intelligent, deeply generous collection-it's a gift to contemporary poetry."-Cole Swensen In confident prose poems, "Abstraction puts on her cowboy boots" and strides into the unknown. Employing collage reminiscent of Gertrude Stein's breathless dazzle, Lewis creates landscapes where surreal meets New England bucolic, meaning is arrived at cumulatively, and the animated and the "real" converse. "Change in the Grove of Chickadees" "Happy for nothing, we could be with no dinner to cook." "Absence is gigantic in our heads and houses." "We're old and it's bold to say so standing at the kitchen counter with the flashing red things." "The clock says midnight and we say yes." "When we go out, time always pays." "We spike our heads with copper ions and picnic with the breast explorers." "We're riding the earth." "Non-motion is impossible." Lesle Lewis is also the author of "Small Boat," which won the 2002 Iowa Poetry Prize. Her poems have appeared in many journals, including: "Pleiades," "American Letters and Commentary," "Northern New England Review," "Old Crow," "Green Mountains Review," "Barrow Street," "Mudfish," and "Slope." She teaches literature and writing at Landmark College in Vermont and lives in New Hampshire.
