• W4367466448 abstract "Reviewed by: The Era of Discontent by Brianna Noll Phill Provance (bio) the era of discontent Brianna Noll Elixir Press http://elixirpress.com/the-era-of-discontent 104 pages; Print, $17.00 Reading Brianna Noll's second collection, The Era of Discontent, is akin to taking an elemental bath in water essenced by the natural, spiritual, and [End Page 140] astral realms. There is a hint of something, a sense that at any moment in your reading of the collection, perhaps by the next page, by another poem, or even line, there might be that sought-after mysterious ingredient the author requires for a sudden Philosopher's Stone epiphany. There is a controlled yet almost desperate search in these poems for meaning in the larger world, what we see of it right in our faces and what we cannot (but suspect might exist) see out in the universal—something of poetry leveraging Raymond Williams's affect theory to knowingly lead us to comprehend through feeling the incomprehensible, what Anahid Nersessian has called calamity form. Of course, admittedly, Nersessian's critical focus on romanticism might make this assessment at first seem far-fetched, but such a superficial assessment of Nersessian's work and Noll's would deny the reader fuller insight into Noll's theme as a meta-response to contemporary criticism that very blatantly draws parallels between our own period and the late Enlightenment, beginning with its title. That this thoughtful assessment and commentary on our times has already been well received, as winner of Elixir Press's 20th Annual Poetry Award, is hardly surprising. In the collection's introduction, contest judge Jane Satterfield (Her Familiars and Assignation at Vanishing Point) offers: The Era of Discontent is populated with scientists, saints, artists, and visionaries … the poet's reflections on the natural world interrogate our complex relationship to the environment and offer a glimpse into deep time; such concerns are viewed through a fabulist lens that underscores their powerful reach. There is perhaps no better example of this than The Fir and a Bramble, it encapsulates Noll's power as a transliterator of the world. After describing an aura of light from a mountain forest being distilled into a taming essence for a dog, Noll writes: … Little creature,when you believe the world isa circus act, you don't need to spythrough peepholes or waxnostalgic to see that anything [End Page 141] is possible. But you will needhelp getting over the hurdleof yourself. Only then can you findyour retinue of waiting birdsto plait your hair and open youreyes and lift you, like Poseidonon his war-chariot, above the glowof the evergreen treeline. To be sure, we don't always wish to be along for the ride when inspiration strikes a poet, but in this case, to be present when Noll experiences what she transmutes into the totality of this poem would have been a grand gift. Noll is seeing something for us, receiving and translating past first glance into the deeper truth, the several truths that are always there yet are missed by us on so many levels. Promising an explanation of the present through the lens of history, the collection moves us to an emotional sense of what we can only otherwise intellectually understand obliquely. We are introduced to this notion in the collection's first piece, Perenelle Flamel Contemplates the Cosmos: One day, we'll discover a planetwhere the rain is made of glass,and we'll remember that everything shares constituent parts, materia prima.I have the makings of glass, of earth,in the fist of my heart. That materia prima—the original substance of the universe—makes up every line of the collection, reminding us of our molecular kinship with the world and with one another. But while the work contemplates what makes the world and makes up the world, it also evokes the Romantics in its appreciation for the omnipresent power of an apocalyptic destruction in which we are / stars, and all we need is a catalyst / to reveal our common, our hidden, glory. Further hints of such destruction—our smallness in it and its..." @default.
