facture

By Raymond de Borja

Raymond de Borja's facture is an inventive book, both literary and wondrously attuned to the most minute subtleties. The poems in facture are uncannily cohesive, each a small sculpture, a little engine. De Borja's poems speak through the history of the art world, the history of art theory, and an acute sense of the material world as well. De Borja's work feels in service of a larger project which we could call the making of art, art which emerges through the work of one's hands and mind. There is a kind of tenderness toward the poet's and reader's body in these poems, a kind of care and compassion in relation to craft, and in the relation of writing to the world.
