The Daily Glance

Jennifer K. Dick's Enclosures is essentially one long piece that meanders in form from prose poems to open form thrown across the page, and it revolves around two characters, Lili and a he. For me, it reads like an interestingly formated novel. It moves through scenes, though not necessarily clearly drawn, and the narrative progresses through the course of the book. The language, however, is more resonant/open than is typically found in a novel, and the forms seem to shift in matching the content.

Lili (thinks she) belongs only to the eye
Seeing (that other I) more than ever
True (construed) and alive in her part of place
Dreams and dreaming
Part of how the world
Moves her through it. She parts (departs)
Time and the world led
Lead blind
