Happiness, A Strange Bird - 8786

As primal and fearless as myth, or a great blue heron touching down in a snowstorm in Manhattan, the "strange bird" of this book perches at the edge of Eden, winging to us as if out of memory or the voice in the wilderness we dream has awakened us. Patrice Pinette's poems, glowing and unholdable as a child's chased bubbles, limn the mystical both in the ineffable and the domestic. As laden with questions as a "deluge of grief" with tears or peonies with petals, they bow down while we are uplifted, filling with hope and hunger—not so much for answers as for more of the dangerous, playful, momentary encounters with wonder we're reminded of. Elemental as rain, as magnolias, as love, the color blue, or happiness, these poems transport us as we watch them soar, line by line "dazzling the ordinary."
