It's Go In/ Quiet Illumined Grass/ Land

Poetry. "An enlightened work singing of death, physical pain, social fearfulness, and where when or whether one is. The intricate variable stanza...sounds one of Scalapino's favorite themes: inside and outside, the cruelty outside and the illumination also there"You can't stop"--Alice Notley. "In the interior light of night perception and emotion toss the mirror aware to and fro. Leslie Scalapino notes that its flicker, looked through, is time: pain in the landscape of bone: a silent movie if nerves have language...I read it first on a computer screen and the elegance of its argument kept me scrolling the pulsating spine to the end"...Tom Raworth. "silver half freezing in day/ elation the/ outside/ of the outside sky walking/ rose"--from the poem. SPD also carries many other Scalapino works including ORCHID JETSUM, THE TANGO, and a reading of her work WAY, available with KENNING #12: THE AUDIO EDITION.
