Poetry. THE INVENTION OF CULTURE is the third full-length
collection of poems by Lisa Samuels, whose second volume, Paradise
for Everyone, also appeared with Shearsman. The poems in this new
collection mix prosodic syncopation with prose syntax and floating
page space, as though the page were not only paper but also skin,
film, and musical score inscribed by a languaged body tapping out
the news. And there is news here: the strained topicality of the
poems is an index of imaginative vision meeting the world's
insistence that it be experienced. These poems are stories with
many names--parallax histories, present dreams, compound love songs
and dirges--whose inhabitable spatial structures are like event
horizons that mean to let you come back to the world.
