Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno

Mussoorie-Montague Miscellany Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno

Poetry. A miscellany in flashes of realization. Christopher Sawyer-Lauçanno takes the tumbled bits of mind, and mind's penchant for equations (a feeling of 'is'), in order of appearance. The order is elegant, taken apace, and because the subject is consciousness, there is urgency, too: 'The notices that arrive with wind...force flying against force.' Sawyer-Lauçanno has a strong sense of the fragility of existence, and even more so of the names with which we tend to furnish it.--Bill Berkson
