Full review at Little Book Jockey. At first I really liked the parallels to Plath’s own poems and life; however, the more I read, the more I wanted it to end–and it’s only 96 pages. I think Queyras may have taken the motif too far. It was stretched so thin that I got tired of it, even though I’m interested in Plath myself and have written a long essay on her poetry. Even so, Queyras has some great ideas and lines in this collection.… (más)

Unleashed is BookThug’s selection from the Lemonhound blog of Canadian poet Sina Queyras. Begun in 2004, and once or twice abandoned and revived since then, Lemonhound is still going at: http://lemonhound.blogspot.com/, where it maintains a repository of interviews and reviews. This book takes its selections from among entries dating from the summer of 2004 until the end of 2008. Expectedly, the blog format structures the book as a kind of publicly available diary of doings and thoughts, which focus on two of Queyras’ interests: poetics and visual arts.

I will say right off the bat that – without wishing to situate Queyras herself in those murky, hotly contested categories of poetry – if you’re not at least passingly interested in contemporary experimental works, both verbal and visual, this will not be the book for you. Poets and artists who find their way into the book include Anne Carson, Lisa Robertson, Jeff Wall, Diane Arbus, Richard Sera, Rachel Whiteread, Ron Silliman, Mina Loy, Juliana Spahr and Cindy Sherman. Queyras discusses Juliard, concrete poetry, self-portraiture, Value Village, Gertrude Stein biographies, life in Brooklyn, language poetry and the paltry representation of female artists at MoMA.

The sheer range of reference, and the attention and insight with which the author encounters it, is what makes this book such a fascinating read. Queyras is no slouch and she spares none of her considerable intelligence here. That said, it is really an avantgardist’s book and this one-sidedness left me wishing for an even more inclusive look at art and poetry. Just the nature of the beast, I guess – Queyras confesses her taste for the avant-garde up front, so there’s no reason to expect discussions of Mary Shelley, Ted Hughes or Vermeer. There are other venues for that (LT, for instance).
