The book and the dream are the poet's primary objects of investigation here. Through deft, quietly authoritative lyrics, Fisher meditates on the problems and possibilities-the frail craft-of perception for the reader, the dreamer, maintaining that "if the eye can love-and it can, it does-then I held you and was held." In her foreword to the book, Louise Glück writes that Fisher's poetry is "haunting, elusive, luminous, its greatest mystery how plain-spoken it is. Sensory impressions, which usually serve as emblems of or connections to emotion, seem suddenly in this work a language of mind, their function neither metonymic nor dramatic. They are like the dye with which a scientist injects his specimen, to track some response or behavior. Fisher uses the sense this way, to observe how being is converted into thinking."Yale series of younger poets ;v. 101.American poetry21st centuryAmerican poetry21st centuryPOETRY / GeneralbisacshElectronic books.American poetry21st century.American poetryPOETRY / General.811/.6Fisher Jessica1038661MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451696003321Frail-craft2460392UNINA
