Poetry. TOMORROWLAND is a book-length poem of bodily transit and
colonial forgetting. Its names and events perpetually arrive in a
new world, whose versions here combine promised lands and
historical suicide. Eula moves among these real and imagined
place-times with other symbolic names and unnamed figures, and Jack
plays death. The primary formal note is the interrupted iambic.
"Lisa Samuels' TOMORROWLAND is a guidebook and diary from an
actuality existing among real sea and ships and coastline, history,
and contemporary reflection. There are named 'characters, ' but the
true characters are a colony, a "we" of the newly arrived to this
land. The generous and graceful syntax is a fusing agent for
yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The reader exults in the
accomplishment of the verse"--Alice Notley
