Betty Adcock brings fierce insight to her seventh poetry collection, Rough Fugue. Her elegant stanzas evoke bygone moments of beauty, reflection, and rage. ?et things be spare,?she writes, ?nd words for things be thin / as the slice of moon / the loon? cry snips.?Adcock? poems are often spare but never thin, shifting effortlessly from the eerie red of brake lights on a Texas highway to the fluorescents of an office building where a tired worker imagines a holiday in Spain. Adcock reflects upon her poetic forebears, chronicling the desire to write that led them to create cuneiform tablets, scrolls of papyrus, and ultimately vellum and parchment. She also recounts memories about the life with her late husband and tries to define herself in the bewildering new role of ?idow.?In poems ranging in tone from playful to reverential, Rough Fugue showcases the work of a veteran poet at her masterful best.
