Theres so much to admire in a Marianne Boruch poem where to start I love the surprising metaphors the complexity of ideas the enjambment of lines that leave me slightly off kilter and in suspense the intimate relationship between sound, sense, and form. Maybe what I love most is Mariannes passion for the act of seeing, for surveying the world up close, from a distance, or in the wings. She raises the camera, the binoculars or the stereopticon. In one poem she notes how her son peers at the enormous eye of a horse, and in another she adopts the perspective of a hundred year old cadaver, head wrapped in towels, who views her own dismemberment. She ventures into the eagle eyed perch of a virtual bombardier, one who hones in through the remote sensing device of a drone. In Mariannes poems, the act of looking has many dimensions, including the ethical. The importance of seeing is reinforced here by the poets original watercolors artwork never before exhibited. Though the woman in Nap in Leaves has her eyes closed, I suspect by means of dream shes still observant. The leaves arched above her appear alert. They seem at oncesuspended by their own grace and the power of the dreamer. Note Before you start reading, heres a link to an additional poem by Marianne Boruch The Tin House, one of my favorites. In 2. I chose it for Indiana Humanities celebration of National Poetry Month. Nap in Leaves All artwork is copyrighted 2. Marianne Boruch.
