Heather McHugh's new book, Eyeshot, is a brooding, visionary work
that takes aim at the big questions--those of love and death. The
poems suggest that such immensities balance on the smallest
details, and that a range of human blindness is inescapable.
The power of this new work comes from its delicate yet tenacious
fidelity to the ever-unfolding senses of sense. The poems invite
the reader to follow careening words and insights through passages
both playful and profound. Her "Fido, Jolted by Jove" reveals the
tension endemic to both language and living: "the world itself is
worried." Yet the same poem remarks the high price of any reductive
fix: "a brain this insecure may need another bolt be driven in it."
This movement between anxiety and the human compulsion for order
informs Eyeshot's darkly comic, 20/20 acuity.
