Here You Are

by Jared Joseph, Sara Peck

Poetry. "The best collaborations to my mind are the ones which preserve sympathy and difference, and Sara Peck and Jared Joseph's HERE YOU ARE achieves this beautifully. Far from the seamless surface of musical thoughts presented in a given order that constitute most lyric poems, seams are suddenly everywhere, and in HERE YOU ARE they populate the space between two lines with the dynamic theater that Peck and Joseph maintain between their sensibilities. Lines like 'I feel the flowers' are followed by 'I feel my bald spot.' Their rapport is unruly, impertinent, and unfolds in this work as an ever-unpredictable and bizarre universe of things and feelings. They're really smart, and funny, and they pay attention to each other, to things and feelings. They make it look easy."—Brandon Brown
