Isthmus

"Alice Jones' Isthmus, a booklength love poem, explores the space where improbables meet, the arc of possibility for two lovers who have come together from opposite sides of the Pacific. All the tenderness and tensions of marriage are here in that sandy stretch between "the two land masses of you and me:" the ambivalence, the continuing invention of a joint life, the jokes ("I try to say/the words you taught to name/my work but get the pitch wrong...so now I've said/the heart's logic is eating noodles.")"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
