A collection of high-stepping verses of live wires where every phrase is a detonation of swings, breaks and pops. --Norma Cole
Jane Gregory's My Enemies records a poet's search for meaning in a landscape of combined and dissolving definitions. Affirming disaster and its beyond, these poems sing toward belief--a self-made belief that will not rely on any static symbol or logic or idol. Gregory's dynamic, unpredictable enactments of the modern world avow vulnerability to a belief compatible with self-consciousness. Sometimes triumphant, sometimes overcome or self-ruinous, My Enemies never halts in its search for definition, even when it claims to not have been written--as in the serial Book I Will Not Write poems. Each poem here establishes a new, necessary material and mode for our uncertain world that can offer its readers something to believe in.
