Slowly, Slowly, Horses

By Julianne Buchsbaum

Book Overview

"Julianne Buchsbaum's Slowly, Slowly, Horses is a quietly furious book. her language is as rich and eerily fascinating as bending down to look closely at something decomposing. But this is a different sort of nature poetry--her landscape is "a pasture of taints," and her close observation of language, of course, is close observation of the human mind. There is something of Wallace Stevens in her precision, her incredible diction, and in the way her descriptions are simultaneously direct and mythical." --Matthew Rohrer

Good Horses

Here's a book that draws back the pall of every short-circuited love. Quiet but powerful. A wave of wild horses.

Slowly, slowy, horses

Julianne Buchsbaum's SLOWLY, SLOWLY HORSES is a quietly furious book. Her language is as rich and eerily fascinating as bending down to look closely at something decomposing. . . There is something of Wallace Stevens in her precision, her incredible diction, and in the way her descriptions are simultaneously direct and mythical.-Matthew Rohrer

Restrained but Riveting

Julianne Buchsbaum's poems are impressive for their clarity and exquisite control. In a brocaded style reminiscent of the early, less vitriolic Sylvia Plath, she offers compelling meditations on the self, the natural world, and the enigmas of personal fate.
