Two distinct, extended poems present an ensemble of memorable characters in moving, humorous, and mesmerizing motifs. The themes of duality, gender, dichotomy, and genre are explored, blending them with exciting and lyrical language. Beautifully illustrating a diverse array of topics, this examination makes an excellent addition to any collection of poetry.
"A complex dance of metaphor, distraction, and unexpected union. Hejinian proves once again why she is one of the most radical and important writers we are fortunate to have." -- The Bloomsbury Review "Here is the marvel of putting learning into play, ventriloquizing it as a puppeteer might. The 'characters' emerge out of the text, first as names, then as activities, then like events with personal qualities--which then become part of the social affect, the climate of the text, the whole buoyant and mournful circus. It is all so very active. Along comes Lola!" --Carla Harryman
