Luisa Futoransky is a poet of lived experience above all, though
not hers alone; other voices inhabit the work, whether of friends,
lovers, fellow travellers (people she met or figures from history
and literature). Like her fiction, the poetry employs a direct
language rooted in anecdote and reflection, while sometimes
delighting in playful experimentalism. Hers are mosaic narratives,
made of pieces, fragments. Something else to notice in Nettles is
her flair for the theatrical, especially acute when she writes in
shorter forms. Surely her studies of opera helped to hone her
instinct for the dramatic gesture. But to think that we start in
Rome with this book only to end up in Ohio. That is some sense of
humour.
