Blue Lash : Poems Paperback / softback
by James Armstrong
Paperback / softback
Description
In Blue Lash, James Armstrong explores the way a physical place can be alchemically transformed into mental geographies.
The world of Lake Superior comes alive and expands outward in these poems: cicadas "grind their teeth/under the blue roof of August"; a quartz pebble becomes "little knuckle/petrified egg/white as a wave-cap"; a Jet Ski "revs past the dock/like a demon out of Milton." Stripping away the layer of sentimentality that often cloaks the lake, Armstrong portrays it instead as a rebuke to human arrogance, and a reminder of the sublime indifference of wild places.
