Description
In ""Raw Goods Inventory"", Emily Rosko gives us a poetic inventory in a virtuosic display of voices and accents.
The poems come with sharp elbows and knees; they are nomadic, acquisitive, dispersive, and diffractive.
More elementally, Rosko's poems contain the scattered bric-a-brac of the imagination, with goods that range from a dud egg to genetic hybrids, from Marian iconography to pigs at a state fair.
She offers honest embodiments of anxiety, awkwardness, and boredom, as she also recasts with wit and grace the standard poetic fare: love, death, and disappointment.
Idiomatic, raw, and skewed in the best possible way, Rosko's poetry manages to speak to us - with arresting lyric gusto - of familiar things.
