As in the first poem, “Score,” with its gorgeously autonomous and slightly surreal images, the poems in the book’s eponymous first half have a filmic quality, as if directed and observed by an omnipotent narrator-self. The second half is made up of experiences, objects, and “The Treachery of Objects…” The poet observes herself recovering from major surgery, first as if on film, daily rushes, with quick cuts, and then she feels as the experience deeply means—“Isolate the pain, the size of a buffalo nickel”—staring steadily into the scar that is both companion and abyss. This is a deft, lovely, sometimes whimsical, poem-journal of recovery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Joyce Jenkins\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41624965644311,"sku":"9780997093377","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/71wM2XyWJrL._SL1500.jpg?v=1724539190","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/win-maw-shein-score-and-pb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
