Questioning Walls Open

by Jennifer Hill Kaucher

Poetry. Questioning Walls Open offers a kind of the literary life of coffee and letters balanced against the quotidian, pedestrian life of the laundry waiting to be done. Linked through language, desire tugs at this balance constantly -- desire of lovers, to end lonliness, to slow time. The poems hold tenaciously to beauty, but don't necessarily offer happiness. The tension is manifested in the use of form and repetiton - words run into themselves, refrains constrict and push the poems forward almost as if the poems are attempting to escape their form.
