A Sacrificial Zinc impels the reader on a journey into the nature of place. Written out of a vanished suburban landscape, Matthew Cooperman's book , part navigational trope, part metaphor of embodiment , enacts the complex weave of identity as a series of places, lovers, influences, and natural objects. The landscape itself is beautifully particularized as the desert and mountain spaces of the American West, and the flora and fauna of the Pacific Rim. From ""the blue Pacific exactly the colour of cold"" to ""the magnolia leaves [of California] / in the first scuttle of fall,"" these lovely poems ground a journey in that ""little better thing than earth.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A Sacrificial Zinc is concerned with one's sense of place and being- the search for one's many comfort zones and how they intertwine to create a unified identity. Employing a nautical object as an extended metaphor, these poems navigate the waters to find the now vanished western panorama of Cooperman's youth, a series of past influences, natural objects and lovers. Throughout the book our narrator seeks to comprehend the nature of displacements: where we are, and equally, where we have been. Incessantly asking, "Where is it that you're from?" the poems' answer is simultaneously many places, many times, many voices, and resolutely, here in the natural world. California desert and mountain spaces and the flora and fauna of the Pacific Rim are central to the metaphors and themes in this collection about one's personal landscape. This collection aims to take the reader on a journey into the nature of place. The landscape is particularized as the desert and mountain spaces of the American West, and the flora and fauna of the Pacific Rim.
