"It makes no sense. You would be strangers / if not for this." In
Strangers, Rob Taylor makes new the epiphany poem: the short lyric
ending with a moment of recognition or arrival. In his hands, the
form becomes not simply a revelation in words but, in Wallace
Stevens' phrase, "a revelation in words by means of the words." The
epiphany here is not only the poet's. It's ours. A book about the
songlines of memory and language and the ways in which they connect
us to other human beings, to read Strangers is to become part of
the lineages (literary, artistic, familial) that it braids
together-to become, as Richard Outram puts it, an "unspoken /
Stranger no longer."
