In these rigorous, formally adventurous poems Pagel calls upon the playful, unsettling sonic sensibilities of writers such as Lorine Niedecker, Russell Atkins, Frank O'Hara, and H. D., as she ties the music of place to personal inquiry: \"There is \/ something in the way \/ of the thought,\" the narrator posits: is it sound, desire, violence, or image? Pagel dwells in the anti-ordinary ordinary strata of Midwestern mythologies, emergencies, landscapes, and crises. Using a blend of ecopoetic, visual, and archival modes, \u003cem\u003eFree Clean Fill Dirt \u003c\/em\u003eis a collection of poems making intimacy of deep time and vanitas of vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaryl Pagel is the author of two previous books of poetry, \u003cem\u003eTwice Told\u003c\/em\u003e and Experiments \u003cem\u003eI Should Like Tried at My Own Death\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as a collection of essays, \u003cem\u003eOut of Nowhere Into Nothing\u003c\/em\u003e.
