Part of the appeal may be that Brigit Pegeen Kelly doesn't write simple poems; she weaves elaborate tapestries. Her work begins in the opening page of "The Orchard," her third collection, where she repeats certain words - boy, bird, bush - to establish a meditative tone that runs throughout the book. Subsequent pages explore those and other images, turning them round and round until they seem both familiar and strange. Kelly, who has a keen eye for detail, slowly adds layer upon layer of meaning, entwining various threads. She is driven, almost obsessive at times, in her desire to understand the world around her, which is often surreal and dreamlike.A boy may become a black swan or a doe may give birth to a child. The reader never knows what might come next.

Ask a Question Brigit Pegeen Kellyâs vivid, musical verse has impressed the literary community since the manuscript for her first collection, To the Place of Trumpets , was chosen for the 1987 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. She has since published two additional volumes of successful poetry. The Orchard (2004), her third book, is a striking group of poems that takes place in a world of dream figures and contemplates themes ranging from fertility to death. A key poem in The Orchard âand an excellent example of the âshocking and unfamiliar ferocityâ that Stephen Burt finds characteristic of Kellyâs book in his New York Times reviewâis âThe Satyrâs Heart,â which was first published in the Kenyon Review . In this intriguing and mysterious poem, the speaker rests her head against the chest of a headless statue of a satyr, observing the teeming animal and plant life around her. Some of the poemâs lavish descriptiveness is challenging and difficult to imagine, but this language is what makes the poem innovative and compelling, and it is an important part of Kellyâs song-like rhythm. Her commentary on themes of sexual reproduction, bravery, and higher human principles shines through and provides a rewarding experience for an attentive reader.

Extractions: This divided response corresponds to the irreducibly heterogeneous subjectivity that Kelly both dramatizes and evokes. If prophetic voices echo in the poems, if figures of divine sacrifice and of yearning for a distant God animate them, religious doctrine does not order and subsume other dispositions of the poems' speakers. The poems do not, that is, dramatize transcendence of abject mortality or the hope of such transcendence, nor do they suggest that the metaphoric and fictive may be resolved into the true. (1) On the contrary, while "truth" is by no means reduced to illusion, it simultaneously arrives on, and is unsettled by, carrier waves of abjection and of fiction. (2) At levels of image and voice, Kelly dramatizes a mutually contaminating relation among these subjective dispositionstheir thoroughgoing implication in one another.

Extractions: Subject Headings: Abstract: The purpose of this essay is doubleâto counter Mikhail Bakhtin's contention that all poetry is necessarily monologic and therefore unethical (and, in doing so, to challenge also common assumptions about the lyric that presume a singular, personal, unified voice) and to make this claim by employing Bakhtin's own theories of dialogue in reading contemporary African American poet Robert Hayden's lyric "Night, Death, Mississippi." Hayden's powerful lyric about lynching, at once beautiful and horrifying, provides a rich site to trace some strategies of form and styleâfor example, the use of free indirect discourse, multiple lyric voices, and a modified call-and-response structureâthat enable heteroglossic dialogism within the poem itself and also self-consciously evoke and even perform the reader's answerability to and for it, establishing the participation of the lyric in the ethical encounters of dialogue.
