| Summary: | Becomes a text in motion. These poems perform the creative process itself and succeed exquisitely in making the reader part of that process and its excitement Like Jay Wright's previous poetry, Boleros provokes in the reader "a passion for what is hidden," emphasizing names - of places, muses, saints' days - and the imaginative histories behind them. As always, the linguistic surface changes rapidly as Wright's geographic journeys become explicit explorations of poetic form. Boleros is more than a conventional collection of poems. Each part of the book connects to, engages with, and changes the others, so the book itself |
