Notes from Source: There is a theme, or tendency, or tone across the several books of mine published by Two Rivers Press: something to do with the half-seen, the partially-buried, the not quite there, the deliberately concealed, the misremembered or dismembered. This paper has required me to attend a bit more carefully to that tendency, and to think about the paradoxical and protean presence of absence, in other poets’ work as well as my own—even though it’s like trying to tread on the tail of a dream just in that liminal moment as you wake.
