Somewhere in Space: OSU JOURNAL AWARD POETRY
Autor Talvikki Anselen Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 dec 2015
The poems in Talvikki Ansel’s Somewhere in Space work to locate us in this world and its mix of the made and natural, the cultivated and untamable. Faced with such mysteries and intricacies as the water-conducting tissue of trees, the sensory abilities of vultures, the lives of past writers (Edith Södergran, Bruno Schulz), and fragments of history and our tenuous connections to them, the poems acknowledge the difficulty of authority, yet continue with their forays. Invented characters coexist with observations of mergansers and moths, orioles and cats; “Particulars rock / just inside the breakwater / like conjured up skiffs.”

Recenzii
“Talvikki Ansel’s poems in Somewhere in Space create a portal of hope where humans can recover a sense of what it means to be animal on a planet imperiled. Ansel is a twenty-first-century ‘New Englandly’ Dorothy Wordsworth, paying keen, peripatetic, nineteenth-century attention to the salvific slippage among the human, animal, feral, cultured, and terrestrial realms of our moment. The poems in this collection build a cosmology that is atmospheric, pan-geographic, and emotional.” —Lisa R. Spaar

[Calico gray, rag-tag she chose our crawl space]
[They know their terrain, their paths]
[“On foot”]
[In a week they are gone, did the mother]
[After I dumped the failed jelly by the rotten]
[If you count the catalogue of cats]
[A lens of cloud, a sighting around a sheet]
[Coming back into the yard something’s off]
[She is back, the one-eyed cat, trapped]
[Edith Södergran, also holding the leash]
