The Daily Glance
And then next
Lauren Levin's, Jared Stanley's, and Catherine Theis's In Fortune is one of the many Dusie chapbooks orchestrated by Susana Gardner, but it stands out as being a collaboration between three poets, a collaboration in which the poets did not seem to write the pieces together but collected individual pieces in a single collection. That makes for an interesting mix of styles, for two of the poets write in traditional looking stanzas, and one throws the words around the page with extra spaces buried in the lines and stanzas that drift on the full open surface. The traditional looking stanzas are also more narrative than the open pieces, and since the pieces are mingled, the differences between the poems are striking because we read one straight piece and then next one slightly opaque piece.
