Extended solos in jazz force away the easy connections and predictable climaxes towards shards and dissonances that help the music find new and more intriguing connections. I get something of the same effect in this review, where you have an opportunity to stretch out your thoughts past your "3-minute single" blog sensibility.
There's a lot to mull over in one review: - how is it exactly that "good and great poets teach us how to read their poems?" - why are there so many excellent Polish to English poetic translations right now? - can the quotidian really suffice when there is "no Katyn, Gomulka or Gdansk" lurking behind it? - were Milton and Shakespeare our last poets of nobility because they were actually...nobles? - what does a modern-day Cockaigne look like, and how can I find me some?
Diving deep into the textures, one evades resolution, and keeps the daily music of life moving.
