The Dream Givers(press here to order)In The Necessary Angel, Wallace Stevens made a famous distinction between metaphors that discover and those that invent. Margo LaGattuta’s inexhaustibly inventive poems confound this dichotomy: she reveals by imagining; and discovers by invention. The result is revelation. Riding the "tough horses" of dream, she writes, "I get alive this way." And so do we. -- Mark Doty, author of Sweet Machine; Atlantis; My Alexandria; Bethlehem in Broad Daylight; Turtle, Swan; Heaven's Coast: A Memoir; and Firebird.A connoisseur of word play, she invents dramatic situations and hangs on for the ricochet of astounding discoveries. -- The Detroit News |
