Its sensual intelligence is on high alert, and the sheer unsheerness of its language--all its densities and textures--is a linguiphiliacal delight. Unmistakeably American (the poetry's occasions and its cadences alike serve for signature) it has the jinx-meister's humors about it. There's a dark streak, too, an eye for the natural indifferences that border the spotlit human heats. A fine rhetorical savvy, in a mind inclined to the chillier depths: among poetic gifts these days it's an uncommon conjunction, a gift of mysteries, like the sight (across a night pond's surface) of bright-blue shooting star: one hopes the other humans get to see it.\"--Heather McHugh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eV [Linoleum]\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSouth of Spokane Street, a gear works\u003cbr\u003e turns its teeth--shadows in a cavern, \u003cbr\u003e through the cycles of a drop-forge piston, \u003cbr\u003e heft themselves and recoil in a dark\u003cbr\u003e rain of sparks, the echo off the blocks--\u003cbr\u003e pa-tang!--arriving late, repeats itself again, \u003cbr\u003e a ceaseless, a remorseless hammering home, \u003cbr\u003e a point made and lost in the patterns of work.\u003cbr\u003e Across the street, a hunkered stretch of houses, \u003cbr\u003e swing sets and cyclone fencing, a clatch of cars.\u003cbr\u003e The agent shrugs--\"It's zoned Residential\/\u003cbr\u003e Light Industrial\"--pa-tong!
