Description Deborah Bernhardt's DRIFTOLOGY, the 2013 winner of the New Michigan Press/DIAGRAM chapbook contest, is a thrilling linguistic ride.
We'd almost say dizzying, since she shifts so quickly between registers and textures, except that the result's more electrified Van Gogh than vertigo.
These poems show--and venerate--their seams.
Throw a whole lot of smart and lovely in the Will It Blend blender, which shows up in one of Bernhardt's poems, and we get this key-shifting chapbook.
Needless to say it's great.
