Description for The Lightning Field (Field Poetry (Paperback))
Paperback. Series: Field Poetry (Paperback). BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 154 x 7. Weight in Grams: 136.
In her third collection, Carol Moldaw explores new territory in poems that are thematically far-reaching and technically superb. The book includes three long sequences based on art and artifact in various stages of completeness: preliminary pen-and-ink studies, Turkish ruins, and, at the center, the site-specific art installation that gives the book its title and impetus. Attracting charged material as a lightning field attracts lightning, the poems reference narrative but move beneath and beyond it through a restless and rewarding insistence on making and remaking, on seeing by degrees and seeing whole.
