Natural forms and forms of human manufacture, forms of absence and those of urgent desire construct and deconstruct each other in Bolin's singular music, which blends unnerving plainness and obliqueness, the childlike and the alien. As their sites drift from workers' camps to city squares, isolated coasts to windswept plains, the poems in Form from Form trace a map of a fragmented ecology, dense with physical detail of altered landscapes and displaced populations. In tones of austere beauty and harsh discordance, these poems provide a "field guide to luminescent things," a visionary fretwork of the possibilities and impossibilities of faith in the present moment CN - PS3602.O6533 SN - 9781609386054 SN - 1609386051 SN - 9781609386047 SN - 1609386043 KW - American poetry.
