Amanda Butler is one of my favorite voices in contemporary poetry!
Effercrescent, her new chapbook from Dancing Girl Press, perhaps even surpasses her debut, Tableau Vivant. The 13 poems comprising Effercrescent are phenomenal pieces that are mainly centered on the themes of cycles, the moon, tides, stars, and femininity. As a rather masculine individual myself, I was nonetheless pulled along the silver currents of Butler’s prose. Her poetry reads like Gary Snyder’s but it studies the ethereal and divine structures of the sky and stars as opposed to the rough earthiness of terra firma.
If you haven’t picked up Butler’s chapbooks, remedy that as soon as possible.
