From her invented In-titled form, to frolicking word play and elegant word choice, Ms. Harper demonstrates an uncommon command of every line and syllable in this evocative collection. Here, the poet is fully present, and the work is stunning. We Have Seen the Corn is deeply personal work: the poet reckoning with the notion of a self / inhabited too briefly. She asks, why and why and why, bringing us again and again to the brown brink of grief. Deftly, the poet titrates between nature's beauty and unspeakable devastation of nature: Indigo Bunting, cicadas mating, and the womb's hush counterbalance grief and loss. Here amid the sweet sultry folds of an abiding love, there is exquisite tenderness, as the poet reveals herself, unabashed, shedding every husk.
