California (Stahlecker Selections)
- Thoughts echoed in poems: Long lines, short lines mirror our minds' tangents and fragments
- Recurring images: Speakers' fixation on nature, California's allure becomes a sanity test
- Speaker's yearning: Not for California, but an imaginative escape
- Search for meaning: Speakers strive to find significance, despite frequent failures
- Collection's maze: Blurred lines between dummy and ventriloquist, state and State, in a whirl of language and imagination
Simultaneously sad and funny, Jennifer Denrowâ€™s California, explores the obsessive nature of humanity while calling into question how we create our own realities. Using image repetition as a tool to emphasize obsessions, Denrowâ€™s narrators range from a woman fixated on California to a ventriloquist and his dummy that instructs â€œYouâ€™re allowed to move your lips. / I will teach you to become humanâ€¦â€ These are poems occupied with imagination, and how we use our imagination to navigate our worlds.
