Part lamentation, part ode, Threnody (the word originates from the Greek, threnos, wailing and oide ode.), examines the beauty and violence of our present ecological moment with a lyric and meditative eye. Concerned with the precise relationship of components in the world these poems exist in the overlap between imagination and fact, truth and history, territory and map, the living and the dead. Juliet Patterson's poems are entirely themselves; they use time and the eye and tongue--all the body, as thought and insight, inside and outside history. - Jean Valentine
