Time's Body

Paperback n. Condición: Near Fine. Dana White (cover) Ilustrador. Presumably first edition. 86 p. Has mild warping, otherwise Fine. From back:Kathleen Wall's second collection propels the reader into a music of clear, lyrical richness. Time's Body is at once refined and elemental, the voice both melodic and full of wit. Again and again we find ourselves in the powerful present, listening to a chord or pausing in a garden where suddenly the flow of time is glimpsed with precision and clarity. Here is amature poet at the height of her powers, showing us, virtually line by line, that each moment in our lives has extraordinary implications. 'A calm musicality pervades this collection. These intensely personal poems are liberated from the merely private by the writer's constant self-assessment (wry or solemn) which invites the reader to join in the appraisal." - Phyllis WebbContents:The Painter SingsPlaying Chopin Near an Open Window 10 First French Suite: Sarabande 11 Second French Suite: Gavotte 12 Practicing Mozart's Piano Sonata in A 13 Aphony 14 The Silence of Speaking Hands 15 Landscapes with Absent Figure 16 About Surfaces 18 Stilled Life 19 Nine Meditations on Transparency 20 Schooling a Daughter Whale Song 24 Snails 25 Caterpillars 26 Forcing Narcissus Bulbs 28 Correspondence with a daughter studying the history of art 30 The On-Line Blind Date Poems Doomed Uncle 36 Assuage 37 The Mid-Date Lecture 38 Forbidden to Say the Word "Desire" 40 Mammogram 41 The Curve of Time 46 The Woman in Grey 47 Stone upon Stone 49 The Blind Date's Meditations on Light 51 Portraits and Elegies Daughter as Charon 56 The Blaze of Self 58 The Time of Trees and Clocks 60 Elegy 62 Inheritance 63 Prairie Ariadne 66 Requiem 70 Origami Cranes 73 Visiting the Blind 75 Time's Body Opening Time 78 Time Travel 79 Fictions of Time 81 Weeds 83 Time's Body 85 15/04/2005. n.
