- W606151750 abstract "Ordinary, everday, homely. These are words that come to mind to describe the dimension Hollis Summers' poems live in. But they are inadequate words, and his are deceptively simple poems. They speak little, and quietly, but they record, in the silences they create, a desperate, melancholy magic about the surfaces and trivial events of our days. So we are led to discover, and assent, to all these tonal perceptions as the true domestic furniture of our inner lives. And though the poems see -- feel -- the transformation happening in us and about us, the flat surface of the moment is never lost, or lost sight of: as in u201cMaybe Nobody Wants to Appearu201d -- In our town we Double park in Christmas week Waiting for each other. And we have been known, At Christmas, to understand snow In southeastern Ohio. It is all reported in an insistently matter-of-fact tone: beautiful and mysterious moments we cannot translate into any meaning, a sense of urgency and incipent despair in all our acts and words, a daily normality of madness: For five days after the boy's death I used him for a dust mop. I am accustomed to helping my wife Around the house. We have a large house and many Children. Also there is fear. We fear the loss -- and gain -- of words in these poems. And Summers respects the fear too much to try to undercut it with any arch irony. The voice that speaks these poems does have irony in it, but it is only lightly- and sorrowfully-touched by it, as if by a faint wash of blue. It is too diffident to be used as a shield against its own truth-like the poems themselves. Quiet, unpretentious, seemingly uncertain, they make their certain visits." @default.
