Beschreibungen/Notizen
Turner engages James Dickey's concept of primal memory, a poetic contact with the imagined elemental energies of the natural world, with skeptical insight.\n Their identification with the South and Southern poetry is complicated by modernity and postmodernity, but for all the contingency and play in their work, their poems at least engage, even where they do not descend from, the concerns of their traditional predecessors. [...]what I most appreciate about the book is how it mediates between the subject matters of poetry and its manners, how the formal features of the poems under consideration are not seen as merely decorative, or brandished as a demonstration of the writer's affiliation with one school or another manifesto, but are viewed as live representation of the ways a poetic mind engages through its imagination and its music with an actual world.
