2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR POETRY


The poems in The Sunflower Cast A Spell To Save Us From The Void read like dispatches from the dream world, with Jackie Wang acting as our trusted comrade reporting across time and space.

I found this poetry collection interesting--I'm unclear if they are all based on her own dreams, or if she also writes as dreams. Her writing is certainly dreamy, and catches that weird confusion that dreams so often leave one (at least me) with.

The theme that struck me was fitting in--or not fitting in--in language, in knowledge, in "we", in family. Dreams of catastrophe and danger--and not knowing what to do or who to go to or with.

There are also a lot of references to people I do not know much about--Simone Weil, Kant, Bataille, Sylvere Lotringer, Ryan Trecartin. While I know some of these names, I do not know enough about any of them to understand the layers of the poems mentioning them. I also don't watch much tv or movies, so that also goes over my head.

My two favorites:
Wounded Adjudication (p 28)
The Death of Thurston Moore (p 91) (I do know who Thurston Moore is, though I too was more of a Joy Division girl.) ( )
