Just Saying
Just Saying | Rae Armantrout
2 posts | 2 read
In Just Saying, improbable and even untenable speakers are briefly constitutedonly to disappear. The result is part carnival, part nightmare. A television pundits rhetoric segues into an unusual succulent with writhing maroon tongues. When the world suddenly becomes legible, is that revelation or psychosis? In this book, the voice of the Lord and/or the voice of the security state can come from anyplace. The problem of identity becomes acute. The poems in Just Saying may be imagined as chimeras, creatures that appear when old distinctions break down and elements generally kept separate combine in new ways. Here Armantrout both worries (as a dog worries a bone) and celebrates the groundless fecundity of being and of language.

Long car rides and poetry books seem to work well for me. I‘m still trying to wrap my head around poetry as a whole. I feel better about this collection than others I have read, and a few of these poems were ones I really liked. I am still not completely “getting it” though. However, if poetry is your thing, I would recommend checking this one out. #JustSaying #RaeArmantrout
