Review Quotes
In her chapbook collection, Tangible Terrain, Christy Wise engages a sublime friction between her home "ground," the world she was reared in and the alternate "ground" of the city taken on by her father, a melancholic love letter to the alternate lives that beckon like sirens to the ships of our seemingly secure lives. Wise undermines the glossed exterior of these lives "as we wander among prickly bushes/avoid ubiquitous bees/seem natural/not like long silences over dinner/which make me feel invisible." As the author lets us deeper and deeper into her life, we see the fears of adults, the dreams and advice they thought best to dispense to their own, manifesting deeper in the family and the poet's consciousness, until we are released into the embrace and revelation of the natural world as the way to reclaim "our ground."
