Throughout, there is the poet's thwarted longing for an understanding that cannot come: all poets and poetry elude me, \/ especially myself and my own; Kocot's speaker--a voice simultaneously adorable, helpless and deeply brave--is both obsessed with and frustrated by process: See, in a poem, things actually\/ have to be doing things, \/ not just floating around. ... Kocot's most lucid moments achieve a kind of visionary clarity (The waters are very simple today.\/ Hospital blue, in error of twilight), a beautiful refusal to accept the inevitable (Listen, I said it before, die\/ and come back as fire) and inklings of the kind of loss that could yield such a powerful, almost overflowing book: I wait to go to you, \/ smoking and breaking curses under\/ the Jackson Pollock fuck you moon. --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoelle Kocot is the author of five collections of poetry, most recently, \u003ci\u003eThe Bigger World\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, 2011), and a book of translations of poems by Tristan Corbière, \u003ci\u003ePoet by Default\u003c\/i\u003e (Wave Books, 2011).
