Description

Rebecca Lilly’s several previous volumes have explored her immediate environs, and the circumstances of coming to (meta-)physical as well as geographical terms in these places. Evergreen Moon takes this a step farther, serving as a contemplation of the poet’s ancestral home, at the time of her imminent departure from it. For it she devises an innovative style, pairing a traditional haiku with a freer poem that is the figure to the haiku’s ground. The result is quite unlike anything else you will have read. This is a move you will want to make with her.


          between    yes    and
          no     a     child’s lens
          stitching        chasms

     Biting cold —
     a crow cocks his head
     between trellis boards

                        *


          monotonous      sorrow     it’s
          the same cloud    of birds    going
          elsewhere    not touching    down

     Late shadows —
     geese curve into
     the mountains
