Inmost

by Jessica Fisher

Jessica Fisher's second book of poems brings lyric's intensity of perception to an era of global war while chronicling the everyday motions of new motherhood. In this elegant and elusive work, the inmost moves outward, like sight or voice, into the external world.

Reviews

[Nora · Rating 3 out of 5]

Inmost is thought provoking. However, I think Fisher was a little too reliant on word play, specifically homophones. The use was effective but bordered on novelty.

[Jason · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book continues themes Fisher explored in her first book, but perhaps with a more political edge and a more visible suspicion of linguistic referentiality and signification. In some ways, the book also seems like a nod and a wink to her former mentors and professors, Lyn Hejinian. A very solid book overall.
