Kirlian Effect

In her third poetry collection, Lori Lamothe contemplates the connections and disconnections that bind us to each other and the natural world. Just as Kirlian photography captures objects in electromagnetic fields, the book depicts the ever-shifting landscape of light and shadow that inheres in ordinary life. These poems about violins, dinosaurs, shooting victims, ghost hunters, heroin-addicted newborns, agoraphobics, trampolines and orchids reveal "energy's bones" that "shift along the spectrum from health to sickness/presence to absence." In doing so, they seek to uncover a route through the past that circles back "into the dark surge of endless beginning."
