The Cloud of Knowable Things - Paperback
$16.00
by Elaine Equi (Author)
Clear yet complex, these poems animate the things closest to us-objects, fantasies, culture high and low.
Nuanced, rich in meaning, and innately accessible, these poems revel in Elaine Equi's maturity of technique and vision. In this collection, we find her deftly exploring her surroundings and taking a close look at the way we inhabit things and the way they inhabit us. Clear yet complex, these poems animate the things closest to us--objects, fantasies, culture high and low. As Elaine Equi states, "Many writers think the goal of writing is to discover the unknown, but this book argues that to discover the known is even more interesting."Author Biography

Among her other titles are Surface Tension, Decoy, Voice-Over, which won the San Francisco State University Poetry Center Award, and The Cloud of Knowable Things.
