    <![CDATA[This series of poems by our very own Poetry Editor in Chicago embodies the title perfectly as it explores the paradox of form and function in life and language.  Quiet without being subdued, intelligent without being obtuse, and deeply affecting without resorting to melodrama, this book carries itself into the reader with arresting honesty and simplicity that is at once harsh and elegant.<br/><br/>Praise for A Useless Window:<br/>“Her spare lyrics emphasize the role of the individual surrounded with the ineffable qualities of silence and empty space: ‘If there is a footnote to absence,’ she writes, ‘it is the beating heart.’”—Coldfront Magazine ]]>

    <![CDATA[Carrie Olivia Adams delves into a space defined by air and sky, each movement another scene of a movie re-filmed many times over. Intervening Absence, a series of sequences that question silence and interaction (and which both stand alone and themselves interact), is a work of strong architectural integrity populated by speakers whose vulnerability is extreme. Adams writes, &quot;The poems wait, lie still. The poems creep and jump forward. The poems tense and relax their muscles. They interact with the unseen, the wished for, and the undeniably present. I can only hope that in their whispers to you they intervene.&quot; These poems calmly announce a realm of interrupted conversations with the self as moving pictures projected on parlor walls, where Adams engages the idea of pause and distance.]]>
