Synopsis

Poetry. Winner of the 2004 Colorado Prize for Poetry. "With trenchantpolitical and philosophical repercussions, Morrison's poems cut throughthe constraints of systematic thought to articulate gestural meanings,powerful rivulets of suggestion and sensibility that reopen the worldand wound of being"--Forrest Gander. "WHETHERING demands that itsreader wake into what are already only the traces of language's making.From its first page, this book variously implores and compels languageto move from desire to the real"--Elizabeth Robinson. "WHETHERING is whathappens when the sensual world interacts with the word, when knowledgebows gratefully to perception. Such a brief, rare, unexpected musicensues: "the artery / of a lark's cry"--Gillian Conoley.
