Overview


Poetry. Winner of the 2011 Sawtooth Poetry Prize, selected by Paul Hoover, CHINOISERIE travels through centuries in poems that carve wonder from ruin, from an illuminated manuscript to New York on the eve of disaster, the Emperor's nightingale to neon aquariums. A sensory flight, intricate in its vision, Ecclesiastic in its hunger, and brutal in its portrayal of a solitude that "could surrender / to the hammer or the flame," this book of curiosities draws inspiration from 15th century masters, Japanese animation, mid-century films, Marguerite Duras, and other sources.

Overview


Poetry. Winner of the 2011 Sawtooth Poetry Prize, selected by Paul Hoover, CHINOISERIE travels through centuries in poems that carve wonder from ruin, from an illuminated manuscript to New York on the eve of disaster, the Emperor's nightingale to neon aquariums. A sensory flight, intricate in its vision, Ecclesiastic in its hunger, and brutal in its portrayal of a solitude that "could surrender / to the hammer or the flame," this book of curiosities draws inspiration from 15th century masters, Japanese animation, mid-century films, Marguerite Duras, and other sources. Inspired by an art created miles from its origins to become its own translation of landscape, texture, and pattern, CHINOISERIE disrupts boundaries between tribute and theft, reinvention and repetition. It evokes the fanciful as well as a darker potentiality, seeking a language "of pearl and roaring."

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Ekphrasis serves as form and method in Rigby’s debut, in which poems on masterpieces—from an illuminare of Adam and Eve by the Boucicaut Master and workshop to an oil by O’Keeffe, from Sunset Boulevard to a Da Vinci design for a flying machine—embellish what we already know: in “Design for a Flying Machine,” Rigby writes, “The sketch contains a faceless man, an X/ across his chest, the parachute/ dreamed centuries too soon.” Other poems employ careful description—sometimes rococo, sometimes abstract—to guide readers through dramatized self-portraits (“everything I know about beauty I learned/ from the body’s ruin”) and landscapes of mixed images (“DETOUR. Milk crate./ The molten globe// on a glassblower’s rod” conjures, for instance, Pittsburgh). Written under the sign of contemporary masters like Jorie Graham, Rigby’s poems—some clusters of textured language, others long-lined assays splaying the page—seem to delight in the markings left by their own making. Where oblique, we appreciate the mysterious attempts. Where approximate, we can glimpse the meanings we bring. (Feb.)
