Jane Gregory's mystifying second collection, YEAH NO, begins with a \"Knock knock,\" inviting the reader into a realm where \"Everything is a pattern \/ of yesses and no.\" Within these pages we find Gregory constructing a multivalent world—ripe with struggle, prophecy, and, by the end, a resemblance of hope. Using her highly-tuned sensibility throughout, Gregory guides us through the anxieties of this journey by inventing new and enigmatic forms filled with sonic experimentation and polyphony. YEAH NO builds upon the singular vision found within her previous collection, MY ENEMIES, and continues her elegant and challenging address to poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"At the beginning it feels almost awkward (as well as anguished). Written in poems that are accretions containing both language that's constantly questioned and a more subtle, subterranean lyricism: 'the bower made of agitation' seems to be the form, and the book seems to be about being agitated by different impulses. Suddenly, more than mid-way, everything comes together into a new tone, and what was hesitance. is a method. 'I am against achievement,' Jane Gregory says in obvious and thrilling mastery of poetic form. She really takes over then. and the reader's pleasure is acute. This is a terrific book to go through.\"—Alice Notley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31337267003415,"sku":"9780998829029","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/content_4c72197a-3c8b-4500-ae21-ba03ef9612f8.jpg?v=1586745812","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/yeah-no-by-jane-gregory","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
