To Tell
the Lamp
These poems enact a slow dance in the glow of the process of living. Lubasch examines the world around her, from its simplest objects to its most complex emotions, and distills it into a discrete collection of statements. Some of the statements lead into each other, in the procedural manner of philosophical propositions, while others bend back upon themselves in the redactive manner that is, in this writer's work, becoming a trademark. Throughout, both the delicacy and the inadequacy of language are glorified as part of the same luminous experience, as Lubasch traces and retraces her considerations; when she concludes that we are "coming to terms," the arrival she references is the arrival of inexorable self-awareness. |
