Song & Error: Poems
Averill Curdy
A lush, lyrical debut from a vibrant new poetic voice
A sparrow like a ?fumbled punch line? is lost in an airport; a man translating Ovid is transfigured by witnessing a massacre in Jamestown in 1621; a woman smiles seductively as the skin on her back is opened out like a wing; a lizard upon a laptop shimmers with the true life, primitive and binary, of our modern information age.
In the sonically rich, formally restless poems of this debut collection, Song & Error, the thread that unravels all we think we know of the world is plucked loose and drawn from a seal?s beached corpse. Uniting past and present, history and autobiography, Averill Curdy?s poems strive to endure within ?the crease of transformation? and to speak?sing?of that terrible beauty.
