review 1: I love, love, love this collection. Kasischke is a deeply imaginative poet, and just wild enough to keep me engaged even as I feel I am free falling through a cloud of beautiful images. This collection volleys from the poet's rich domestic life--a dead, or dying, father, a son who seems to resonate beyond his years--to the natural world, to the cerebral and voided land of art and indistinct figures. The Rothko cover really sets the stage for what the book contains--feeling and thought, rich and airy on top, warm and burning with energy below the surface. I highly recommend this one!
review 2: I want to be on the mailing list for her poems as fast as they hit the page. She inhabits a quirky imagination that is fully aware of being: a mom, of the girl she was, of... more being a mortal with mortal relations, of the far flung connections that thinking provokes. Whether commenting on a past lover or scanning cans in a supermarket, watching it work is breathtaking. Winner of this year's National Book Critic's Circle award for poetry, "Space, in Chains," is the latest in a list of other knockouts: Dance and Disappear, Gardening in the Dark, among others. less
