Body & Glass

Body & Glass extends Koeneke’s experimentations in Etruria with a tightly woven set of more compact poems that brighten and sharpen the lyric’s usual corners. The ‘anonymous’ forms of folk song and epitaph, parable and textual fragment, arrange to sketch the selves, living and dead, who might say them. These are poems of an improvised interiority, shared between the poet and reader but broad enough for multitudes.
