In a section called \"Over the Bright and Darkened Lands,\" canonical poems are torqued into new shapes. \"Except Thou Ravish Me,\" reimagines John Donne's famous \"Batter my heart, Three-person'd God\" as told from the perspective of a victim of domestic violence. Like Pablo Neruda, Addonizio hears \"a swarm of objects that call without being answered\" hospital crash carts, lawn gnomes, Evian bottles, wind-up Christmas creches, edible panties, cracked mirrors. Whether comic, elegiac, or ironic, the poems in \u003cem\u003eMortal Trash\u003c\/em\u003e remind us of the beauty and absurdity of our time on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom \"Scrapbook\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe believe in the one-ton rose\u003cbr\u003eand the displaced toilet equally.
