Synopsis
Comprising her most recent poems and a selection of poems written from 1981-1991, Kimberly Lyons' Abracadabra brings us a poet with a striking and original voice. The work we find here gives a dreamlike view of the fractured cycles of birth and regeneration that mark our years, weeks, and hours. And Lyons' world is one where signs become objects and objects become signs--and her intent here is not so much to make sense of this world as to consider, sometimes in awe, its unmappable kernels. As she herself puts it in the book's opening couplet: "What is this place./But that's a sucker's question." With an evocative cover by Tony Fitzpatrick, Abracadabra is filled with elegant writing that accepts no limitations on its acts of imagination.

Tony Fitzpatrick (illustrateur). 5 x 7 1/2 in., 104 pp., smyth-sewn in wrappers."In Kimberly Lyons's poetry of perception, it is the unmoving objects that do the striking when there's a collision-the floor hits the spoon, the small black pan hits the 'big kosher salt' that's falling into it. The resulting energy sends words zigzagging and meaning flashing like lightning. This makes sense, since these poems take place in the thunderstorm where the cold sciences of optics and physics meet psychology-object relations-in all its warm folds of association and sublimation. In the annals of the irreal, Giorgio de Chirico's monument paintings and Joseph Ceravolo's early poems also suffuse this cold light with heartbeat. What's absent in the book is Absence, for although the affect of these poems seems to be low-key, it's really just the tense relaxation of a poet of the ecstatic magic of paying attention. The depths of all the apparently empty spaces are filled: with music, with light."-Jordan Davis Kimbery Lyons has published half a dozen pamphlets of poetry; she lives in Chicago and Brooklyn.Designed by Emily Y. Ho. Cover image by Tony Fitzpatrick. Printed offset, this is from an edition of 1000 copies in wrappers. As new. N° de réf. du vendeur GB_72
