Infinity Pool

by Vona Groarke

Just as an infinity pool gives the illusion of one invisible edge, the dividing line between poems and the world they process can be magically tricky to discern. Infinity Pool, Vona Groarke’s ninth poetry collection and fifteenth book, tests the limits of spaces poems make for themselves. In language precise, luminous and spry, these poems write into the point where anything might slip into something else — the Atlantic become an actor; a luggage carousel be a reckoning; a poem nudge itself gently over its own fourth wall.

An enjoyable collection. There's a very good mind in evidence here. The poems are clever - particularly a series envisaging the Atlantic ocean in various roles. It's entertaining.
