Her poems of richly varied line lengths develop phrases at the syncopated pace of the observing mind: Slag and synthesis and traveling fire / so many ways the groundwaves of distortion / pulse / through bedrock traffic and the carbon chain she writes in the opening poem, The Water-brooks. Here, and throughout, her reflection on the natural world embraces the damages of time to which we can bear only partial witness but to which the human memory is bound.</p><p>In the collections title poem, Kinzie goes on to explore her own romantic griefs alongside the adventures of T. S. Eliot, inadvertently working on a suntan as he tours the desert in the roadster of his American girlfriend, whose heart he will break. Kinzies conviction that sorrow, too, is a form of passion allows her to lift poems from shattered thoughts and long-ago losses, at times blending prose and verse in a combustible mixture.</p><p>Determined not to prettify but still expressing fresh wonder at the beauty we stumble across in spite of our shortcomings, Kinzie delivers her bravest work yet in these new poems.</p><p>O God invisible as air</p><p><em>My tears have been my meat</em></p><p>sweet<br />because no noxious thing runs with themonly<br />fragrant naveté of the reflective midday when<br />bank herb and wood flower and water from the pool<br />can best be gathered<br />also the knowledge<br />that these gifts are tenuous and that the mouth<br />and the harp<br />might soon be strange to play</p>...2912898California Sorrow106117https://www.gandhi.com.mx/california-sorrow-9780307494290/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2259669/2d127e4e-0311-4ec5-b8ae-805b2e33f24f.jpg?v=638383729958600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20139780307494290_W3siaWQiOiJjZDA4ZTNjYi1iNGJiLTQxYmYtOTE0NS05M2M3YTRkMWEwZmQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjExNywiZGlzY291bnQiOjExLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjEwNiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780307494290_<p>In this exceptional new collection, acclaimed poet Mary Kinzie opens her attention to the landscapes of the earth.
