Whatever Stasis
Whatever Stasis | Chris Tonelli
1 post | 1 read
Poetry. WHATEVER STASIS is Tonelli's second collection of poetry, one that finds that "beautiful and worthy subjects / are everywhere / which is / out of reach." Meditative, funny, at once searching and resigned, Tonelli shows us that "A poet / is the opposite / of god" in all the best slow and subtle ways.

I read this twice—slowly, methodically—to soak it in. Tonelli has a knack for nailing a precise sound, and the geometry of the poems somehow manages to reflect the recurrences we see every day, in some way capturing life‘s patterns (which seems impossible I know!), and making at least a sliver of sense of it.
