5.0 out of 5 stars
Awe,
By Noah Eli Gordon (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Awe (Paperback)
With equal parts fierce psychological inquiry, sexual sublimity, and doubt-laden reverence, Dorothea Lasky's poems embody the authoritative force of antiquity, rescuing our current preoccupation with theoretical discourse from its fear of the mirror, and identity politics from its imprisonment therein. Openendedly allegorical and unabashedly social, one hears in Awe "the utterances we emit when we are truly listening." That they sound like no one else and yet say something wholly original about love is the joy of this debut collection's simultaneous strength and willingness to surrender.

"Summery" and disturbing in the best ways,
By
This review is from: Awe (Paperback)
AWE reminds me a bit of Gertrude Stein (Lifting Belly, especially), in the way the elemental repetitions teeter at the liminal space between innocence and obsession. It's an ambivalent space, catching the tone of perception, twisted through a precocious lens. It's captivating. Lasky has the most disturbingly innocent voice in contemporary poetry.
