An important and timely collection spanning time and space, pain and power, from an innovative, powerful poetic voice
An Interesting Detail is full of returns, "the costumes and repetitions available" to the speaker – to any of us – in a new place; the forms, the situated patterns of being and doing we borrow from the past and resurrect here, for good or ill. FRAN LOCK
An important and timely collection spanning time and space, pain and power, from an innovative poetic voice.
The poems in An Interesting Detail confront our shared, layered past (both planetary and human) and its knotty relationship to the present, stretching from today to prehistory. The voice is knowing and yearning, sincere and sardonic, and at times defiant. Campanello’s prose poems, brief lyric outbursts, and poetic sequences playfully navigate catastrophe and sweep us up in the minutiae of everyday life, which includes pain and illness, machinations of power and moments of suspended connection.
