Hartigan’s Pool [5 choruses] takes readers into a porous realm where singular and multiple voices fuse. Amidst high levels of public noise—reportage on wars, elections, more—these poems journey into the accruals, interstices, and resistances of pooled and individual song. Through continuously recalibrating voices and forms, they explore: how do we distinguish personal cry from choral cry, song from noise, the "fragile, wet word of the spirit" from an over-lit presence? These choruses move through a spectral, multi-layered stage.
