No one can die for us, writes Carolyn Stoloff in her majestic new book of poetry, Ah Wind. But what wants to save itself sings. Stoloff will be saved. With a touch of Cummings/ Wright/ Merwin, painter-poet Stoloff writes about Duchamp's Selavy, about an uncluttered time in Capri, a Mourning Celebration. She skews romance: a man walks about with his flame of affection/ for the space of a held breath/ / then love's blown from its wick. She captures the simple with resonance: before the fish man dies/ / leaving his fresh trout/ in the freezer/ leaving my mind/ still as a white river. But wisdom is what she excels in: I'd like to be that way-/ in passage, crossing my mother's/ transparent stillness/ leaving no scar. Subtle, perfect poems that plunge toward the inevitable. Without wounds/can a field be sown? -Terese Svoboda
