Space, in Chains
Space, in Chains | Laura Kasischke
2 posts | 3 read
"Space, in Chains speaks in ghostly voices, fractured narratives, songs, prayers, and dark riddles as it moves through contemporary tragedies of grief and the complex succession of generations. In her eighth book of poetry, Laura Kasischke has pared theconstruction of her verse to its bones, leaving haunting language and a visceral strangeness of imagery. by turns mournful and celebratory, Kasischke's poetry insists upon asking hard questions that are courageously left unanswered."--Cover, p. [4].

“God punched a hole in the drywall on Earth and pulled out of that darkness another god. She—

just kept her thoughts to herself. She just—

followed him around the house, and every time he turned a light on, she turned it off.”

A bit too enigmatic for my taste. I slogged through the first half, then started singing everything to Panic! at the Disco melodies, and that made it more enjoyable. Despite not loving it, I'd be interested in checking out this author's other work. #poetrybreak
