There is an all at once quality to lyric poetry that makes it akin to mysticism. It kws there is more to vision than meets the eye. It takes the whole world in while kwing the whole of it is always kwn imperfectly, always here, always w. The here and w of the seventy-one poems in Steven Schroeder's new collection is most often Chicago, the Plains, or West Texas. The poems play on the imperfection of the eye, turning on the voice that can, with care, be heard over the ise at edges where silence slips into the look! or listen! trailing a flash of insight. These poems take place in time, as all embodied things must do, and place is precisely what the imperfection of the eye sings, celebrating the sacrament / of a city of solitaries marking time, listening for a rainbow where fragments fall / on silence broken.
