Immersed in ode as much as elegy, \u003ci\u003eDream Apartment\u003c\/i\u003e employs a dynamic range of forms. Prayer-like spells cascade down the page with precision and abandon. Arrow-shot elegies explore the shock of suicide and find echoes in other kinds of grief--individual and communal, animal and ecological, sudden and creeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgile narratives mirror the dazzling associative movement of unselfconscious thought, the dreaming mind, \"bodiless memory.\" Whether watching a stranger carry his dead dog out of a vet's exam room or offering bouquets of peonies to night-foraging rabbits, \u003ci\u003eDream Apartment\u003c\/i\u003e is propelled by the way poems, like dreams, unfold new dimensions of time and space. Casting their lines toward wish and repair, recognition and reckoning, these poems reveal how any meditation on loss is an exploration of love, promising that in \"dreaming, something wakes.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLisa Olstein is the author of five poetry collections--\u003ci\u003eRadio Crackling, Radio Gone, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLost Alphabe\u003c\/i\u003et, \u003ci\u003eLittle Stranger, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLate Empire, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDream Apartment. \u003c\/i\u003eHer non-fiction includes \u003ci\u003ePain Studies, \u003c\/i\u003ea book-length lyric essay, and \u003ci\u003eClimat\u003c\/i\u003ee, an exchange of epistolary essays with the poet Julie Carr.
