Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Usually, when a book of poetry has a date range on the cover spanning almost fifty years, I assume I am looking at a selected or collected poems. Let the reader not be fooled: Zone is something new. The correlations in this remarkable book take parataxis on mind-spinning trips across time, place, genre, medium, language, and author, producing strikingly emotional results. There are affecting pieces where personal and collective losses appear, touch, and wink away; there are larger canvases on which whole literary and social histories are re-understood and put in new motion; there are notes which carry their own emotional power. Throughout, there is the characteristic Watten tone, the reader s building sense that the cool, polished surfaces of these lines are somehow, and barely, managing to contain a kind of analytic fury David Kellogg, on Zone Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
