Jeanne Shannon
A collection of poems and hybrid works that hover at the boundary between poetry and prose, and that range from the abstract and experimental to the concrete and accessible. Employing imagery that is vivid and frequently surprising, the author addresses subjects that include the natural world (especially the plant kingdom), art and music, the dreamlike regions of memory, and the mysterious-the "dissolving forms" that tell us the world is stranger than we might suppose. In the title poem and others, she summons recollections of her early life in 1940's southwestern Virginia, "the heart of Appalachia."
