In Just Saying, improbable and even untenable speakers are briefly
constituted--only to disappear. The result is part carnival, part
nightmare. A television pundit's rhetoric segues into an unusual
succulent with writhing maroon tongues. When the world suddenly
becomes legible, is that revelation or psychosis? In this book, the
voice of the Lord and/or the voice of the security state can come
from anyplace. The problem of identity becomes acute. The poems in
Just Saying may be imagined as chimeras, creatures that appear when
old distinctions break down and elements generally kept separate
combine in new ways. Here Armantrout both worries (as a dog worries
a bone) and celebrates the groundless fecundity of being and of
language.
