In a sentence, the phrase " for instance" follows an assertion or argument, and precedes a series of examples. Eli Goldblatt gives us myriad examples unconnected to a thesis, except insofar as the thesis asserts what is. This is a world composed of bombings, wars, bad history, framed in a private space of family, garden and dreamwork (which often takes us back to all the bad histories). In a larger sense, the book is an elegy-- for his dear friend Gil Ott, and for a world where fascists lose. But " even in Barcelona, Franco won." " War grows" in the poet's mind, erupting in museums and in his son, who " emerges into the sunlight stabbing, punching, blasting his enemies." Words are like tattoos; they scar. The poet craves " a language beyond all this talk, / words erupting beneath words that evict / or seduce, dominate or sell." Goldblatt's book offers a public and private MRI; we do not yet have the results, so we can only hope for the best. Our best consolation may be that we have this map of one poet's decency and care.
