Whereso
Autor Karen Volkmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 mai 2016
Known for the transcendent, abstractionist poems of Nomina, Volkman's newest collection returns to tangible experiences of the body—its range of expressivity and physical movement in space. Where is the body in travel? What space does it occupy in dreams and memory? With rich perplexity, Whereso responds to dance, performance, and position in time—translating flight of the body into language and line.
Karen Volkman is the author of Crash's Law, winner of the National Poetry Series; Spar, winner of the Iowa Poetry Prize and the James Laughlin Award; and Nomina. She teaches at the University of Montana in Missoula, Montana.

Recenzii
A Library Journal 2016 Poetry Top Pick
“Karen Volkman's poems are inscrutable at first. They demand effort, but when examined these poems reveal depths teeming with microscopic life. After her previous two books, Spar, a seminal collection of love poems in prose, and Nomina, a sequence of nonsense sonnets, Volkman has relaxed mostly into free verse in which she can describe "false content,/ the splayed flower, arterial, like the premise of a door," and other vagaries of the heart. She may be elliptical and strange, but make no mistake, she is a master, able to get inside the mind of a dancer's body, for instance — "Some leg says, 'Pulse and pause, arch, flex, /contract. This is kind of a step, kind of/ sideways flying'" — and transport the willing reader into the deepest folds of true attention.” —NPR Books
“Winner of the National Poetry Series, the Iowa Poetry Prize, and the James Laughlin Award, Volkman explored abstraction in her recent Nomina but here is most interested in the body and how it moves in space. Dance, performance, position—all become language: ‘Part, turn. Deflection in a space, a twist: / the beat’s swarm, the multiplying determine. // Inflect, deform.’" —Library Journal
