Almanac!
Full of music and evocative word play, Veronica Patterson's
Swan, What Shores? offers alluring poems varied in form and
inventive in approach. In language that is both precise and
lyrical, Patterson's work, like much of the best poetry, plumbs the
human condition with depth, wit, and, above all, compassion.
The poems offer fine surprises, from the lyrical litany of "The
Riddle of My Want" ("the stride of your eyes / a summering of
skin") to the unusual elegy "Three Photographs Not of My Father" to
the mysteries embodied in "Where Are My Swans?": "All movement in
their dreams is theirs / that glide-without-haste, for what core of
the universe / has to hurry?"
Swan, What Shores? marks the blossoming of a major poetic
talent.
