Item Description
The experimental and L-A-N-G-U-A-G-E influence is clear, yet The Devotion Field offers, in a number of urban elegies, more narrative and personal (though still political) detail than has been Keelan’s habit. Full of cultural and social critique, the poems concern themselves with the artifice of language, the art of being and the art of art, the fragmentation and continuous flux of contemporary life. She employs trademark techniques: stream-of--consciousness, free association and associative leaps, in addition to a new emphasis on melody and musical phrasing.
Antique
She brought the teapot because it was broken
& broken still valuable,
A thing not available to her otherwise.
On its restored surface a pastoral Flickered once. Too late.
She was not honest but she was a poet Mending the broken valuable . . .
“What absolute nonsense!” cried the Earthworm.“Nothing Is ever all right in the end and well you know it.”
Poor Earthworm, Ladybug whispered,
Loving all that is disaster Bellydown breathing with it everafter.
