Human Forest

By Denise Newman and Cleo Qian

Poetry. Gillian Conoley has commented that Denise Newman's work is intimate, erotic, pantheistic, metaphysical, then sprinkled with the odd grace and beauty of American colloquialisms. Full of a kind of delightful unrest where 'sky tosses disposition about,' and 'earth is a gentle panting thing to eat,' one wants to live forever in her human-forest, asking with her, 'Couldn't we go on climbing into infinity like lambs quaintly passing time?' At once meticulous and compassionate, minimal and enormous, these finely honed pieces trace the intricacies of a mind truly attending to the world -- Cole Swensen. Newman's lines areminimal in something huge - 'great zero at sunset waiting in a long line for a free sample' - Leslie Scalapino.
