Blue warp black weave -- The hypnotist's daughter -- Dream in which I love a third baseman -- Another story with a burning barn in it -- That magnificent part the chorus does about tragedy -- Hypnos is the God of sleep -- Still early -- Regarding days -- Searching everywhere -- A great river flows nearby -- I was mistaken -- Begin -- Through a half-opened door -- Dear one absent this long while -- Down to the finest particles of every spiraling strand -- Radio crackling, radio gone -- Department for the promotion of virtue and the prevention of vice -- Carrier pigeon #184 -- What language are they speaking? -- The poet's youth was almost impossibly glamorous and romantic. |
| Summary |
"Drawing inspiration from a multitude of sources, including the Greek isles, the 1950s pop-psychology book Hypnotism Revealed, the poet's surviving of a serious illness, and her studies at Harvard Divinity School, Olstein shares with readers experiences both intimate and intellectual."--Jacket. |
