The Spell of Coming (or Going)
Patasola Press, 2013
Available for purchase on Amazon
In The Spell of Coming (or Going) shattered things are pieced together, but whole things have a tendency to disappear. Buschi's language is hauntingly spare at the same time that her images are lush. This is a poet grappling with real material—depths, passions, and intensities—and doing it with both craft and recklessness. I was mesmerized by these poems individually and as a collection.
