A propos de cet article

Finalist for the 34th Annual Minnesota Book AwardsDead Reckoning is a collection of high and beautiful seriousness, containing work of exceptional ambition and achievement. Philosophical, unafraid of the big questions ('And yet why am I here, / father, if I cannot enter?'), Jude Nutter is a poet both well-traveled and well read. Here are poems of collapse and Holocaust, of young love in the Eighties and of love at the end of its long human cycle, all written with an exceptional, cosmopolitan command of language and material. It is part of the very precise genius of this work that Nutter explains how we are each given a body, a buthker, a box, by which we may test and measure our being-in-the-world. In one stunning poem, 'The Shipping Forecast, ' this generalized box is metamorphized into a specific love-box from which her father removes a ring to place upon the finger of his comatose and dying wife. All of Nutter's work, no matter how seemingly well-traveled, returns to that inner human circle of love, family memoir and attachment. 'How is it we can be loved / so well and remain so famished still?' she asks in 'Disco Jesus and the Wavering Virgins in Berlin, 2011.' This collection, elegant in thought and technique, attempts to answer that question. Jude Nutter has created a work of great beauty, one of the loveliest collections of the poetry year.--Thomas McCarthy author of Prophecy, Pandemonium and eight other collectionsIn Dead Reckoning, Jude Nutter has given us a book of revelation, poems that press wisdom through language, extracting language itself from the dark earth of the body. Beginning in elegy, and ranging across Europe, she unflinchingly opens doors of our deep mortality: natural history and the fossils that move us and human histories of cave paintings, of the Romans, and especially of World War II and the dead of Bergen-Belsen, where the child-poet once lived. By images at once corporeal and luminous, Nutter's reckonings render narrative, reflection, and beauty as inseparable. This gorgeous collection becomes a guide for how to love the dead beyond memory, a book to be returned to again and again.--Christina Hutchins author of Tender the Maker and The Stranger DissolvesThere are lines of surpassing beauty in every one of these poems. Jude Nutter manages the exacting task of writing long while never losing focus on the parts that minutely build up the texture of the whole. She is at once deeply psychological and physical, wielding a naturalist's vocabulary for our common world made strange by our attention to it. When she describes 'the quick veer, the glint-thrill, the solid, flexed silm' of a caught trout, we know we are hearing a master of sound. Underneath the elegies in this book is a frighteningly percipient, alert young girl who does not forget the cruelties of private and public history. Dead Reckoning is a stunning reclamation of that girl and her capacity for love.--Thomas R. Smith author of The Glory and Windy Day at Kabekona.…
