Feeling As a Foreign Language by Alice Fulton
Poet Fulton's first book of prose, this volume collects essays written and published over 15 years. They concern poets such as Emily Dickinson and A. R. Ammons, they investigate poetics and poetry criticism, and they propose a new way of thinking of contemporary poetry--as having a fractal structure rather than linear or planar.
