Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In serial sets of Fractional Anthems and Magazine Poems, Wagner lights out for the territory of layered lexical eroticism pioneered by Lee Ann Brown. Yet she infuses her lines with a sardonic and foreboding edge, as in the second of Two Poems for Entertainment Weekly: Friendly and forsaken/ Is it hotter to wear a bra/ Or let my boobs stck to my chest/ Melanin, melatonin, metonym, melanoma. For the pimply and shiny generation ten or so years younger than Deborah Garrison is Working Girl, this book, one of the first from Fence magazine is new publishing arm, will strike definitive chords.
Product Description
Catherine Wagner makes poetry of contemporary erudition and confession out of a new sort of baroque plain speech. Her roving eye and ear take into consideration all the offerings of our world--magazines, breakfast, ghosts--and find brilliant encryptions of human physical reality in perfect words. Nothing is too far away or too close to warrant reaction: Good Housekeeping, Edmund Spenser, mayonnaise, boobs, death; all comprise Wagner's vernacular of music and knowledge, a kind of thinking out loud that translates into a witty, vertiginous awareness.
