movingpartsAuthor(s): Edward Carson\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: McGill-Queen's University Press, Canada\nImprint: McGill-Queen's University Press\nISBN-13: 9780228016663, 978-0228016663\nSynopsis\nthe body / knows what / it truly / wants yet / the mind / wavers all\n\nIn Edward Carsons provocative new work, the poetic moving parts of movingparts confront and breathe new life into whats true and whats not in Aesops fable \""The Fox and the Crow,\"" as well as the shifting, often fragmentary ground between whats said and whats not about identity and intimacy in Sapphos lyrics.\n\nReflecting the moment-to-moment ways our minds think, these poems take us from a creative process of disconnection and reassembly to a sonic pacing of words arising out of their stillness on the page. A flair for syntactical compression is found throughout, balanced by a capricious yet transforming diction, what John Ashbery described as seeking to stretch the bond between language and communication.
