Locket

By Catherine Daly

Subjects: love poetry, love, American poetry, poetry

Description: With humor and sense, nuisance and nonsense, sensibility and style, the poems in Locket guide us past the recognizable signposts of life, love and loss. Inside Daly's locket reside, like glittering jewels, a cornucopia of gems borrowed from our contemporary culture. We meet NASA websites, The Chicago Manual of Style, ambulance chasers and submarines, as well as an assortment of coffee table books, the likes of which Daly uses to convince us that, one way or another, we are all making love, or making art.
