תקציר הספר
"Is a Door" uses the poem's ability for 'suddenness' to subvert closure: the sudden question, the sudden turn, the sudden opening - writing that is generated from linguistic mindfulness, improvisation, compositional problem-solving, collaborative events, travel, investigation, documentary. Part one, Isadora Blue, confronts the smashed and broken doors along the hurricane-devastated waterfront of Telchac Puerto, a small village on the Yucatan Peninsula. It resonates throughout the other three sections of the book, with its attention to hybridity and 'betweenness' - a poetic investigation of racialized otherness - and the composition of 'citizen' and 'foreigner' through history and language. Characteristically playful, compositionally musical, this is poetry that watches both sides of the doorway: sometimes the door swings and can be kicked, sometimes it's simply missing. Sometimes it's a sliding door.
