Oddly enough, I long for the relative intimacy and discursiveness of email, which tells you how far gone our age is.
Clary's work, for instance, is gorgeously atmospheric and meditative, yet through discursiveness it resists incantation: the poems often sound like very ambitious conversations, and they are nearly always spoken to an unidentified other (which also takes the incantatory edge off the language): On the hot streets of Altadena, black boys shouted, watched.
Both poets avail themselves of the dialogic discursiveness and irresolution of language, leading to the celebration of complex and inclusive identities and the rejection of ideological boundaries limiting the female poet.
