Beskrivning

A Season is a visionary meditation born out of a spiritual crisis. As the poems attempt to remake a life within the ghostly limbo into which they’ve fallen—between self and world, sound and echo, the uncanny and the sublime—they work to reweave an intimacy between the past and the present, the “self” and its others, and between the world that remains and a world that’s been irrevocably lost. Full of strange ecstasies and waking dreams, A Season is a self-portrait as blank space, a self-portrait as continual becoming—“a house of mirrors in which every face is perpetually on its way."

Recensioner i media

A mesmerizing, slow burn of a book, A Season is deeply inquisitive and mercurial at once. In whirling, diaristic movement sheared by sand and 'semi-snow,' by a face 'at the speed of thought,' its warped and wefted sequences scrutinize foreignness, the human body, the 'apparitional surge' of self and other. The architecture here is beautifully tensioned, built on rollers for allowing flux under panicky conditions, whether social or metaphysical, telluric or psychosomatic. Ever approaching a volatile edge, Walsh’s lyric nightwalking keeps us oneirically awake, unwilling to break with 'a myriad world’s arrangement risk and sun.'
