商品簡介
In Polaroids, Steven Paschall develops his meditution on vision. building from snapshots of the second-sighted to a serial narrative of an artist. The poet's alter-age, as he stiches the singular moments of perception into a totalizing vision of the world seen so purposefully it may become a kind of blindness. Like the photographs that provide the life, here are so many moments of light or enlightement that will never come again. So here is a new voice a young poet who evidences his own uniqueness again and again.---Jake Adam York, author of a Murmaration of starlings, editor of copper Nickel
Polaraids is a collection that both questions and undermines all of our assumptions about how we choose to "see" ourworld. This is always the highest ambition of art. As we question the stability at what moves in and out of vision in our material world, how can we help but to look ever more deeply within? The poems of Steven Paschall's Polaroids are like images from a deck of blackened Tarotkards a sequence of which begins foretelling our futures now hunging in the deepest of mists. futures we can only viscerally sense but never completely apprehend never entirely bring into facts, never in our lifetimes finally---truly---see.---David St. John
