The Intangibles
by Elaine Equi
Equi’s poems insist that despite the fact that most of our everyday reality has been rendered accountable and computable, there is still a region of experience that escapes our GPS-mapped consciousness—an intangible realm where poetry is still possible.

Out of the Blank
by Elaine Equi
"We waited for Word to arrive/ like a messiah in a stagecoach/ or a sheriff riding a thundercloud."
From acclaimed poet Elaine Equi comes her latest provocatively playful collection. "Thoughtful, witty, curious" (The New York Times), Equi's subversive voice delicately refracts human experiences from the colors of weather to the strange ways we make sense of our bodies, from the emptiness of family homes to the flow of time itself.
