The Acquiescent Villa

By Paula Closson Buck

In The Acquiescent Villa, Paula Closson Buck writes the way Picasso paints -- with slanted angles of approach and departure that give us the human heart passionately at work. A restless explorer of the world as body, the body as world, she is acutely aware of the ways in which language creates and sustains these spheres, bringing them sometimes into collision, sometimes into balance. Her poems are journeys into marriage and memory via ship or the body's furious train -- to Spain, to Germany, to the Turkish baths, to the corner store for bread.
