Cedar Sigo's latest poetry collection, Siren of Atlantis, is an introspective odyssey of remarkable poetic and personal resonance.
Here are poems that speak to Sigo's profound experience of learning to write again after suffering a stroke in 2022. In creating this work, the author retraces poetic sources and reexamines style and tone, using a variety of compositional techniques to renegotiate what is at stake in the work. There is a joy in this collection, as Sigo allows us to bear witness to the rediscovery of language, imparting the work with a new and dramatic clarity, for the poet and ultimately for the reader as well.
Previous praise
GUARD THE MYSTERIES
These influences are as present, as vital to the text, as the biographical details Sigo includes—about growing up on the Suquamish Reservation, about having a sexual awakening upon seeing a naked picture of Allen Ginsberg, about taking the ferry into Seattle and getting books and coffee in the University District.

ALL THIS TIME
Words flow down the page like rain that might glaze William Carlos Williams’ wheelbarrow.
Rain Taxi
Poems jitter down pages, wildly enjambed, or arrive in prose blocks, as if each were having a visual chat with some stylistic antecedent.
