By the author of Light Falls Through You and the novel Canterbury Beach In Loop, Anne Simpson explores the power, and the anguish, of many different modes of return – retrieval, revision, the covering of old ground with eyes wider and thoughts reconditioned by difficult wisdom. These poems occur at that place where a focused, compassionate vision comes to inhabit language and to find the forms that will suffice: a Möbius strip poem that loops back on itself; a crown of sonnets that take us back to the shock and grief of the twin towers and find deep resonance with paintings by Brueghel; a set of quick improvisations like the motion studies done for a drawing class. Simpson’s work shows us, again and again, the insight and excitement that come from the practice of a necessary craft in the service of a committed vision.

Thematically, the book stays close to its central premise of repetition or return: every love arriving at its end, armies returning to their decimated cities, remembrances of childhood, the repeated steps of a dance, the cycle of activities among tenants of an asylum. In “A Moor, Rain,” Simpson writes about repeated domestic fights that finally stop. In “Mobius Strip,” she experiments with a new form, writing a bisected poem that endlessly returns on itself.
They’re lyrical poems, perhaps not stunning in the originality of their subjects, but satisfying, songlike and well made, with a store of images that ring true: “the heron lifting slowly – / with Churchillian effect – / into the air.” ( )
