The Insomniac's Weather Report ReviewI've been a fan of Goodfellow's since reading her chapbook, A Pilgrim's Guide to Chaos in the Heartland. If you don't have that book, you really should order it, and by all means, get this one too! Her poems are not only beautiful, they're smart. Reading them, I'm reminded of how poetry is like math: like mathematicians, poets are solving for the unknown. Goodfellow's background is in science and math, and the thing about this collection is that the intelligence behind it is inviting, never exclusive. Whenever I read these poems I come away inspired. Here's just a snippet from one of my favorites of the collection, "The Beach at Big Salt":
Tools of antiquity--the compass, the straight edge--
could not square the circle, couldn't tame
its numberless sides. Arcs, curves, chords
of circles remain, tracing hollows of shells,
clawed waves, parabolas of sand. See
how matter curves around the emptiness,
how it cups and gently holds
the space where things are absent. . . .
There's a section in the book called "Alphabet: Fugue", a series of poems in which the titles are connected. "marriage: whisper:" becomes "whisper: birds:" becomes "birds: language:", etc. It's a lovely configuration, adding to the overall themes and forms central to the book. There's such lyricism and mystery in Goodfellow's world; this book is one you'll want to keep and read again and again.The Insomniac's Weather Report OverviewJessica Goodfellow's is "a voice and vision that both coruscates and confounds our expectations," writes Alexander Long, judge for the three candles press first book award, in the foreward.Indeed, the range and scope of her talent impresses both for its maturity and its daring despite this being her first full-length collection.Whether its through a series of meditations on water in its many forms or a paratactical sequence on language that both reveals and hides itself, Goodfellow shows herself to be a master craftswoman confident in her considerable abilities."What if you use water as a mirror?" she asks us.In poems like "Rain," "Flood," and "Drought" we follow, looking for an answer.Check her out.There are many rewards to be found in this beautiful, dangerous collection.
