Grace, Fallen from

In her wry & riveting new collection, Marianne Boruch discovers things often taken for granted & holds them up to deceptively casual light, questioning them both mercilessly & mercifully. Employing a masterly range of tone & form, Boruch makes a sometimes strange but always revealing investigation of world & self, history & memory, resistance & release. The lyric impulse in these deeply interior poems stops time, even as the world, indifferent to its mystery, keepshappening.
