Dream Street Details
註釋Linda King's "Dream Street Details" identifies the storyteller's struggle for the word, trapped in a netherworld like some minor character with few reference points, learning as they go, filled with wonder, terror, and everything in between. As one forever sewn to their past, especially their childhood, the consistent narrator of the poems certifies that "language does such gentle harm in its steel needle stitching of stories." The first section of the book entitled "some bones fit the page" consists of previously published work, paying homage to the somewhat subdued success the writing life brings and serves as an introduction to the second, main section: "the clues are everywhere", which takes the reader on a journey searching for answers in the elements of language, time and place.
