Slight Return Rebecca Wolff
Slight Return
Rebecca Wolff
In her new collection, influential publisher and poet Rebecca Wolff voyages on bare and tender feet over the rocky mess of American hypercapitalism--including consumerism, gentrification, and branding--emerging and re-emerging far from the land of neat rhetorical solutions.
Labyrinthine in their paradoxes but incisive in their witty recriminations, these poems grapple with the hubris and dysmorphia of a soul forged in the pale fire of neoliberalism. Wolff is poet-as-querent, not only of cards and sages ("I only hang out with people who are psychic / anything else is a / waste of precious continuity") but of language itself: "hooray gave me the strength / to understand a poem no problem / formal gift from language diode, diadem, overgloss, subslime. That's not a typo that's an / egregious coinage minted in a prideful cataract." These journeys from personal and social despair are infinite and recursive--moving keenly toward the point of diminished return and demurring on promises of safe arrival.
