In her latest collection, Rae Armantrout considers the shaping
effects of language in the context of new and frightening global
realities. Attempting to imagine the unimaginable and see the
unseen, Armantrout evokes a "next life" beyond the current, and too
often degraded, one. From the new physics to mortality, Armantrout
engages with the half-seen and the half-believed. These poems step
into the dance of consciousness and its perennial ghost
partner--"to make the world up/of provisional pairs." At a time
when our world is being progressively despoiled, Armantrout has
emerged as one of our most important and articulate authors. These
poems push against the limit of knowledge, that event-horizon, and
into the echoes and phantasms beyond, calling us to look toward the
"next life" and find it where we can.
