Reseña del libro "Green Noise (en Inglés)"

Jean Sprackland is celebrated for her tactile, transformative poetry which makes the miraculous seem familiar and the domestic other-worldly. Her new collection is tuned to new and deeper frequencies. "Green noise" is the mid-frequency component of white noise--what some have called the background noise of the world--and these poems listen for what is audible, and available to be known and understood, and what is not. Each poem is an attempt at location--in time, in place, in language. Some look into the natural world and our human place in it, by investigating hidden worlds within worlds: oak-apples, aphid-farms, firewood teeming with small life. Others go in search of fragments of a mythic and often brutal past: the lost haunts of childhood, abandoned villages, scraps of shared history which are only ever partially remembered. A physical relic or a mark on the landscape seems briefly to offer a portal, where a sounding is taken from present to past and back again.Deeply engaged with the flux of the world, these poems are alert, precise, and vividly memorable--listening to the "machine of spring/with all your levers thrown to max," "hearing the long bones of the trees stretch and crack\."
