Writing sometimes in dialect, sometimes in gunshot bursts, sometimes in sinuous lines that snake across the page, Santee Frazier crafts poems that are edgy and restless. The poems in Dark Thirty, Frazieras debut collection, address subjects that are not often thought of as apoetic, a like poverty, alcoholism, cruelty, and homelessness. Frazieras poems emerge from the darkest corners of experience: aI search the cabinet and iceboxadrink the pickle juice / from the jar. Bologna, / hard at the edges, / browning on the kitchen / table since yesterday. / I search the cabinet and iceboxathe curdling / milk almost smells drinkable.a Dark Thirty takes us on a loosely autobiographical trip through Cherokee country, the backwoods towns and the big cities, giving us clear-eyed portraits of Native people surviving contemporary America. In Frazieras world, there is no romanticizing of Native American life. Here cops knock on the door of a low-rent apartment after a neighbor has been stabbed. Here a poemas narrator recalls firing a .38 pistolaabarrel glowing like oil in a gutter-puddlea--for the first time. Here a young man catches a Greyhound bus to Flagstaff after his ex-girlfriend tells him he has fathered a child. Yet even in the midst of violence and despair there is time for the beauty of the world to shine through: aThe Cutlass rattling out / the last fumes of gas, engine stops, / the night dimly lit by the moon / hung over the treetops; / owls calling each other from / hilltop to valley bend.a Like viewing photographs that repel us even as they draw us in, we are pulled into these poems. Weare compelled to turn the page and read the next poem. And the next. And each poem rewards uswith a world freshly seen and remade for us of sound and image and voice.
