Synopsis "Late Empire "

“Olstein places the mystical next to the mundane. . . . She explodes theories of cause and effect and expands our notions of logic, symbolism, and the territory between dreams and waking experience.” —The Growler Poetry ReviewIn her fourth book—a gorgeous call-to-arms in the face of our current social and political conditions—Lisa Olstein employs her signature wit, wordplay, candor, and absurdity in poems that are her most personal—and political—to date. Like a brilliant dinner conversation that ranges from animated discussions of politics, philosophy, and religion to intimate considerations of motherhood, friendship, and eros, Olstein’s voice is immediately approachable yet uncomfortably at home in the American empire.From “Essay Means to Try”:Already during these two weeks of cryingI’ve purchased seven books each of whichfelt important to own and taken one hundredand forty vitamins and filled three prescriptions,none to help with the crying. I’ve waitedpatiently or impatiently in countless lines,Whistle, sometimes crying . . .Crying is how we enter the world, Whistle.We all come by sea, we all comeby storm, we all tear apart and are torn.Lisa Olstein is the author of four books of poetry and earned an MFA at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She teaches at the Michener Center at the University of Texas and lives in Austin, Texas.
