Entangled Bank

By James Sherry

Entangled Bank opens with a set of five line poems dedicated to the " beauty" of various poets, a nuanced and generous version of Joseph Kaplan's infamous Kill List, and concludes with a wrenchingly honest prose piece on Sherry's correspondence with the late poet Stacy Doris on the limits of empathy. Between these gestures towards a troubled yet significant human connection, Sherry places poems in a variety of styles, as if styles were species in an ecosystem, a veritable " entangled bank." Often he writes with scathing wit on the degradation of the environment and the fraudulence of the financial system. One line admonishes, " Wake up, this is about you." And it is. You're going to want it. -- Rae Armantrout
