Spilled and Gone, Jessica Greenbaum's third collection marries the
world through metaphor so that a serrated knife on its back is as
harmless as "the ocean on a shiny day," and two crossed daisies in
Emily Dickinson's herbarium "might double as the logo /for a roving
band of pacifists." At heart, the poems themselves seek peace
through close observation's associative power to reveal cohering
relationships and meaning within the 21st century-and during its
dark turn. In the everyday tally of "the good against the violence"
the speaker asks, "why can't the line around the block on the free
night/ at the museum stand for everything, why can't the shriek /of
the girls in summer waves . . . / be the call and response of all
people living on the earth?" A descendant of the New York school
and the second wave, Greenbaum "spills" details that she
simultaneously replaces-through the spiraling revelations only
poems with an authentic life-force of humanism can nurture.
