Idea's Mirror
Poetry. Taking its title from a sonnet sequence by Michael Drayton (1609), Stephen Radcliffe's IDEA'S MIRROR explores how words might be made to register the state of things; how writing might enact the relation of events in space as well as time; how each line on a page might be a poem in itself; how the poem might move from physical to metaphysical. From the text: the house in a dream, where it was/ before which, instead of birds in the tree/ water on roof after dawn, the body/ as language, sentence like a glove/ left out in rain. Stephen Ratcliffe is editor of Avenue B books and teaches at Mills College.
