Nancy Naomi Carlson's latest book of poetry explores the defense of words against the body's betrayals, using dualities such as vulnerability and openness, temper and temptation, and the erotic and empathic. Music has no need for voice or harp, as it lies in the silence between notes. In a world scarred by pandemics, wars, and violent tribalism, Carlson seduces us with the promise of joy yet to be had.

Nancy Naomi Carlson's latest book of wonders delves into one of our few defenses against the body's betrayals: our words. Despite the ultimate loss of even the world's last word, which forgets its name and lacks a term for this forgetting, Carlson's poems are vulnerable and open, tempered and tempted by both the erotic and the empathic. Through her lines, reminiscent of Scheherazade's storytelling, she weaves chords into tales within tales, creating whirlpools within seas to save her life. Music, in these anechoic chambers, becomes the sole instrument of worldly sounds, echoing Mozart's belief that music lies in the silence between notes.
In a world plagued by pandemics, wars, and violent tribalism, the givens have vanished, leaving us with the realization that talismans we clung to in the hope of sparing ourselves are no longer effective. However, Carlson's unflinching free and formal verse poems offer a glimmer of hope. She seduces us with the promise of joy yet to be had, urging us to look in the right places and embrace the beauty that still exists in the world.
