Paperback. Etat : Good. Beth McDermott's first book of poetry is an eclectic array of intense observation and introspection. Brimming with intelligence, these poems gaze upon scenes of life and art with a language of precision and a generous expanse of imagination. Her recurring meditations on the human condition, both metaphysical and literal, sweep over these poems like "a white sea without a coastline."As the award-winning poet and essayist Marianne Boruch notes, "these elegant poems by Beth McDermott are curious creatures of mind and eye calmly unfolding in equal weight and austerity, cool as distance but excruciatingly close as if a microscope could think out loud. Taking on both the natural world (the ghost orchid, blackbirds, "a pin oak" falling before expressway excavators, etc.) and genius artifice (Vermeer, Stieglitz, Caravaggio, Degas?), this poet defies her own lament that "if only she questioned the face value of beauty." Because in fact McDermott again and again does that, her work not pretty, not out to please or endear, instead growing brave as science and patience are, and somehow post-apocalyptic. Figure 1 (a stunningly apt title for this collection!) unnerves by a measured, mysterious step-by-step chill. Which is to say, these poems never apologize or self-serve as they stop human time.".…
