Granny Cloud (Fathi Farnoosh)(Paperback)

A playful, ecstatic, and invigorating collection of lyrical work by one of America''s finest young poets.Farnoosh Fathi’s poetry has been admired for its “riot of associations and sonic improvisations” (Christine Hume, Boston Review); its commitment to fathoming language as what it is—an unfathomable depth. Granny Cloud, Fathi’s second book of poems, showcases her gifts both in short works of prodigious concentration and in a long poem, “Anyone’s Don’tanelle,” composed of the drafts and do-overs that led to “Fontanelle”—a wild reimagining of the dispirited court tumbler said to have inspired St. Francis’s “Jugglers of God.” Granny Cloud is a portrait of ecstatic decisions and revisions, constantly reversed, constantly renewed.
