Poetry. \"A powerful, sobering collection of poems by Patricia Waters. A failed marriage is the framework, though its real focus is on re-learning how to see \"daily life\" as the \"ordinary sublime.\" Not surprisingly, the arts play a central role throughout these poems--Vermeer, Rothko, Hopper--sometimes comforting, sometimes terrifying, but always serving as a standard measure for the speaker's experience: this is the authentic. It may be discovered in \"Morning Coffee\" (a brutal poem) or exhibited in the wry lyricism of \"Girl\" (\"By the basin lavender soap/makes soft and sweet the sad old flesh\"). If there is a signature piece here, it may be \"As Heard Early Morning National Public Radio,\" in which the coast guard \"rescues\" a woman found three miles off the coast of Florida, \"swimming, strongly, steadily/away from shore.\" You'll have to read THE ORDINARY SUBLIME to see what happens. It was well worth the wait.\"--Arthur Smith.
