Observations
Asked to justify her art, the writer admits she too dislikes it, all this fiddle, and grants only that a reader who comes with contempt may still find in it a place for the genuine. Elsewhere an octopus of ice lies along Mount Rainier, a fish wades through black jade into the crevices of a cliff, and a long marriage poem quotes Bacon and an advertisement. Her first American collection, with the endnotes she insisted were part of the work.
