CARE Dress like you care!Eat like you care!Care like you care!
You don't thinkapples just grow on trees,do you? * A fish taps a clamagainst a bony knobof coralto crack its shell – which demonstrates intelligenceyes, butis the fishpleased with itself? * Alone in your crib,you form syllables. Are you happy when oneis like another? Add yourselfto yourself. Now you have someone Rae Armantrout has always taken pleasure in uncertainties and conundrums, the tricky nuances of language and feeling.
In Conjure that pleasure is matched by dread; fascination meets fear as the poet considers the emergence of new life (twin granddaughters) into an increasingly toxic world: the Amazon smolders, children are caged or die crossing rivers and oceans, and weddings make convenient targets for drone strikes.
These poems explore the restless border between self and non-self and ask us to look with new eyes at what we're doing.
