Point; Sufficient Causes and ArtifactsLiz Waldner's bold new collection takes its title and its inspiration from Definition 1 of Euclid's Elements of Geometry. Its six sections-point, line, circle, square, triangle, and point again-are explorations of various kinds of longing and loss-sex, death, exile, story, love, and time. Drawing from culture high and low-Eno and Aquinas, Lassie and Donne, Silicon Valley and Walden Pond-these poems offer proof of and proof against the "mortal right-lined circle" of memory and identity.Iowa poetry prize.American poetryAmerican literatureAmerican poetry.American literature.811.54811/.54Waldner Liz1527228MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791136403321A point is that which has no part3769817UNINA
