Kinds of Snow: Poems
Su Smallen
Nature provides the lexicon ofde Kooning Snow. The poems indeKooningSnownegotiate many kinds of loss, metaphorically represented as kinds ofsnow. Classifications ofsnow, such as prisms, cups, columns, dendrites, and scrolls, mark places among the poems as when, in a weaving, the warp becomes visible. The title poemframes presence, meaning, memory, and erasure. Several of the poems are contained in panels like RauschenbergsWhite Paintings. As the poem Glacier reflects, the arc of the book is lyrical rather than narrative, from point A to point A, no point at all. The poem The Last of placed second for the Joy Harjo Poetry Award judged by Dorianne Laux. Three of the poems have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize; ten have been anthologized.
