At first, these extraordinary poems may unsettle and disturb, but
the next reading could be one of rapture and astonishment; it all
hinges on your point of view. Like the optical illusion of the
maiden and the crone, you can only see one image at a time; the
brain deciding which is the figure and which the background. It is
a book that acts out its own subjects - dualities, ambiguities,
boundaries - through physical dislocation, through patterns of
interference. This is a collage of many voices: eager or
dispassionate, unreliable or matter-of-fact - depending, as with
everything else, on your angle of entry. Some of the voices fear
involvement; some are afraid of doing nothing; some, perhaps, have
already gone too far. Like the image on the cover, these pieces
shimmer and buzz in their own instability. Is this punishment or
reward? What is the yellow smoke? Will there be bodies floating
under the plastic pool-cover? Are we, like the hotel manager,
seeing visions? Volatile, troubling, but endlessly interesting,
these poems show J. O. Morgan working and compressing language into
a precarious, frictional state. As a result, Interference Pattern
is a unique reading experience: vivid, challenging and completely
original.
