Paul Hoover's intro bio to Harryman in the gigantic Norton "Postmodern American Poetry" reads, in part: "Harryman likes to blend fictive and essayistic elements in her prose poems." I like that. It renders the categories amorphous, gives them more play. In the title piece, wch one might call a play b/c it's structured around 2 letters 'talking' to each other, there's this bit:
"D: I repeat.
E: Dear, don't repeat.
D: Ok, ok. What are you being so vague for?
E: I don't understand.
D: News of hungry ghosts. Favorite daughter. Favorite son. Chatter in vast architecture.
E: I'll think about it."
Of course it's common to abbreviate people's names in such dialogues by reducing them to abbreviations - eg: Dora might become "D" or Edgar might become "E" - but here there's no indication that that's the case. For all we 'know', these are 2 letters adjacent to each other in the alphabet having a tete à tete after a hard day of serving others. At any rate, there's some humor here & some vague traces of the domesticity of the philosophical - so I really do like it.… (más)
