Reseña del editor:
Poetry. Jean Day's DAYDREAM is a poetic interrogation, from the vantage point of a sonically minimalist and language-oriented form, of one's position in a world of simultaneous brutality, absurdity, and profundity. Situated in the time of the oil wars, poems from DAYDREAM meditate on the pleasures and anxieties of the mundane—idleness that nonetheless feels global reverberations of accelerated mortality lapping at its edges. Jean Day invents a poetic dream-logic with which to tenderly probe the realities of waking life. The day itself is a dream of a body, a personhood, and a planet to which we cling fast, if poorly, as we hurtle into the unknown.
"Jean Day's DAYDREAM is brilliantly astute, imaginative, and keen—let us not be 'deaf to its obvious aptness.' Day's discerning eye-mind upturns the world we think we live in by pondering and questioning and inviting the reader to share in the pleasure of 'beautiful problems, which / arise as toughened thought.' This attention, curiosity, and reverent regard for our everyday surrounds—here local, there global—is the book's tuning fork. DAYDREAM makes a meal 'amid the nutrionless corn' of daily modern life. Where 'So / much flowering is imitation,' Day's writing blooms singularly."—Alli Warren
