"-- Stay, Illusion Eddying between the theater of the lavish and the enigmatic, between the gaudy and the unadorned, Brock-Broido's verse scours America for material to render unflinchingly the here and now. Grandeur devolves into a comic irony: \"We have come to terms with our Self / Like a marmoset getting out of her Great Ape suit. \"She dares the unexplained: \"The wings were left ajar / At the altar where I've knelt all night, trembling, leaning, rough / As sugar raw, and sweet. \"Each poem is a rebellious chain of words: \"Be good, they said, and so too I was / Good until I was not. \"Strange narratives, interior and exterior, make a world that is foreign and yet our own; like Dickinson, Brock-Broido constructs a spider-sibling, commanding the \"silk spool of the recluse as she confects her eventual mythomania. \"And why create the web? Because: \"If it is written down, you can't rescind it. \"From the Hardcover edition."@en . . . .
