The Green Lives

Overview

It’s a month, a year. Wander, tramp, escape, trespass: people have every reason under the sun–and no reason at all. In new syntax and a fitful sense of the poetic line, The Green Lives finds joy in paradoxes from which felt sense can expand. It opens in familiar signs (safehouse, railroad, dog) that are made strange in their service to warn or welcome. In its turn, a reversal of place emerges where no marker will be left: an example of yellow petals, a thousand miles of strip malls, air filling with dust, glitter, and sulfur. Ever receptive to beautiful intrusion, so fast, Gilmore reckons with the infinite.

Reviews
"In Sara Gilmore's winding, ranging poems, terrible beauty surges against "weeping description" with incredible syntactical force. And through all these "unusual places that guiltily switch," I'm haunted by the love and suffering that attend the unequal forms in which we are bound to and claim one another – "my man," "my child," "my mind," "myself." That's why this writing does not rest, it moves. And in this attuned motion, form and language bloom into total potency."–Benjamin Krusling
