Description

As in the title phrase-borrowed from a 17th century poem by Robert Herrick-in which "several" is used to individuate, questions of singularity and the plural, of subjectivity and the collective, pervade this dream-quick poetry. In A Several World there are glimpses of an "us down here"-in the understory, in the open clearing-and, by various projections, there is frequent attainment of an aerial vantage, a post otherwise abdicated. Landscape here is spatial theater, and a choreography recruits all standalone selves: solidarity beginning in an erotics of attunement, catching likenesses. "This clever, busy, anxious, flirtatious poet, with his 'predilections for predicaments,' can connect anything to anything else." -Stephen Burt, The New York Times Book Review
