Poetry. Even all by themselves the titles of Patricia Lockwoods poems reveal the sort of surreal enigmatic rhetorically-elongated world her sensibility inhabits effortlessly: "When We Move Away From Here Youll See A Clean Square of Paper Where His Picture Hung " "The Cartoons Mother Builds a House in Hammerspace " "The Front Half and the Back Half of a Horse in Conversation " "Children With Lamps Pouring Out of Their Foreheads " and the inimitable "Killed With an Apple Corer She Asks What Does That Make Me."
