"Jennifer Bartlett has created not a new form of surrealism, nor of
magical realism, but a kind of supernal realism which leaves room
for dreams, visions, and angels as well as the panoplies of both
country and urban life. These "realia" attribute a marvelously
textured, immediate, and linguistically inventive ground to all she
writes. The overcoming, without fuss, but with a brave, almost
saintly decorum, of a young venture far too burdened by tragedy and
disability is the deep subject of this book: a life has visibly
been saved, and built, by poetry. One welcomes with delight this
brilliant new talent."--Nathaniel Tarn
"Bartlett speaks for and with her generation's anguish at an
existence where love is the residue rather than force of feeling
between people and events. There are no myths, rites or symbols, no
sanctuaries outside of movies, which allow one to experience a
rapture of separation from the real. The poems in this collection
articulate the situation with great honesty."--Fanny Howe
Of course, I wish I had done it differently when I saw you with
her,
but then again "hysteria is the soul voyaging."
Instead of coldly leaving to wander the vegetable aisle, trying to
bring you back into this world. Rain is so
difficult to capture on film, no matter how you light it.
It was as though we had to walk though
the scene again and again
in altering gradations
until you found the right movement,
the right way to get it down.
--from "Derivative of the Moving Image"
