New poems from one of the most original voices in contemporary poetry: Whether Lavinia Greenlaw writes about Greek myths, the end of a marriage, or Albert Einstein's reality without a fixed point, she is always interested in the provisional. She describes the moment when perception takes shape and landscapes—both real and imagined—emerge. Her new collection shines with linguistic precision and a spirit of experimentation. Greenlaw's poems are characterized by her typical blend of scientific and poetic thinking. And they conceal human despair with such irony that a stranger might consider us blissful.
