Synopsis
Selected as a winner of the National Poetry Series by Dean Young John Ashbery called Reveilles , Nathan Hoks’s debut book, a dazzling” collection and Hoks a poet whose fine gradations of observation turn the reader into a barometer of strong subtleties like those of the weather, that can be minute even as they affect us powerfully.” The poems in Hoks’s new book, The Narrow Circle , perform a similar magic. In associative lyrics and fabulist prose, Hoks explores inner and outer experiences. The poems frequently focus on the body as a membrane where everything becomes inside-outwhere the face disperses with angels of teeth and loam,” where sky comes out of the mouth,” where a giant green worm burrows a hole in the head,” and where the heart is a vestibule that cannot be closed. Suites of pictures within the text further delineate this inward-outward pull, offering visualizations of interior voices and sketches of exterior shadows.
