A Pin Holds the Broken in Place
Abstract
These poems attempt to liken; that is, to consider how seemingly different objects, ideas, and people can fit on the page together and say something new about each other. So broken buildings and memories are pitted against each other. Dream and reality blur, as they do in dreams and reality. The unexpected fits together: muscles, flight, and cathedral arcs; bridges and grief; swimming and deafness; dreams and meditation; MRI machines and classical music. It’s all held together, barely, with that pin.^
