Keenly attuned to the precariousness of our existence in a fractured world--of "how little the world will spare us"--Gregerson explores the cruelty of human and political violence, such as the recent island massacre in Norway and "the current nightmare" of war and terrorism. And yet, running as a "counterpoint" to violence and cruelty is "The reigning brilliance / of the genome and / the risen moon . . .," "The / arachnid's exoskeleton. The kestrel's eye." <i>The Selvage</i> is the boldest evidence yet that Linda Gregerson's unique combination of dramatic lyricism and fierce intelligence transcends current fashions to claim an enduring place in American poetry.
