Product Description
The poems in Joanna Klink's Circadian take as their guiding vision circadian clocks. These internal clocks influence rhythms of sleeping and waking: the opening and closing of flowers, the speed at which the heart pumps blood, the migratory cycles of birds. With love poems and wintry prayers, Klink traces patterns of glowing attention and shared life, patterns that speak to the flickering circuit between inner and outer landscapes, that bind each beating heart to the pull of the tides.

If you like nature-like poems I would say this is the best collection for you. I like Klink's form especially on Thought on Fog & I like how she continues the poem from the titles. The topic doesn't vary much but she does what she does well. This book makes me want to see more of Klink's stuff & is a promising book.

This is poetry as white phosphorus, written with merciless love and depthless anger." —from the Griffin Prize judges' citation "Wright is a resolutely experimental poet, funny and intemperate, and the poems in her latest volume manage an unusual alchemy—they have a raw, unfinished quality that never feels provisional." —The...
