Reviews of Unrest“Each open flower is an overthrow. Every instance of birdsong decries the cruel suicides. In Joanna Rawson’s Unrest, nothing less than the entire world is at risk—risk of catastrophe, risk of both hellish and heavenly transformations. With visionary ardor, with devotional precision, Rawson is writing poetry addressed to our deepest concerns.” “Joanna Rawson’s poems tend toward the immediate, her shattered narratives describing a landscape that is swollen and overripe, ready to burst. These are violent poems, not in the sense of voyeurism or titillation, but in terms of a society on the brink of coming apart: the detonation of the pastoral, erotic affairs heading for annihilation, transcendence laced with despair and resignation. “Rawson is a piercingly passionate, necessary artist. The riches in Unrest are as demanding as they are beautiful…. This is a fearless display of infinite reach.” |
