Poetry. "At once unnervingly learned and boldly feelingful, Richard Blevins is a hero of the contemporary long-form poem, and CAPTIVITY NARRATIVES' driven reconsiderations of the disappeared careers of photographer Fred Holland Day and poet Adelaide Crapsey have a sweep and an intimacy that excite from line to alert line. With their heady synchronies and hyperlucid lyric fragments, their unearthings and upendings, their questing meditations and meditative narratives, their bursts of aphorism and doses of tonic fact, these are poems of an unusually welcoming intelligence and of an unassuming mastery. 'If you want to keep a secret, print it in a poem,' Blevins writes, and fortunate is any reader privy to the confidences volunteered in these generous, essential pages"--Gary Lutz. Richard Blevins' FOGBOW BRIDGE: SELECTED POEMS, 1972-1999 was published by Pavement Saw.
