Cheryl Pallant

Uncommon Grammar Cloth Cheryl Pallant New edition

Series of experimental poems by a new poet from Richmond VA that allow the ever-shifting present to emerge like various threads of a fabric in the making. Familiar word patterns transmute suddenly with an associative leap or syntactic twist or a play on sound, enacting the sense of the body in motion, the self seeking the other, or catching glimpses of the divine. Economic, political, and poetic subjects weave through the text, delivering meanings on one page that are unraveled on the next.
