the stove is off at home | Spuyten Duyvil 2018
Shawnie Hamer deals in transcendence. Hers is a precise language, harmonized with intimacy to maintain a physical connection through persistent waves of violence. These are poems of crafted abstraction, rooted in the body, in equal balance somatic and cerebral. They are tantalizing this way: images solidifying for an instant only to dissolve before us the next. The result: she has given us a book that will not be pinned down, a book always in motion. Voices mingle throughout its text, form a chorus, return to their original singers to compose a work of bravery, tenderness, and considerable skill.
