WINNER OF THE 2007 DONALD HALL PRIZE IN POETRY Selected by Bob Hicok Burn and Dodge is part serious/part serious play and opens with a frank and occasionally antic exploration of contemporary vices, such as Guilt, Envy, and Regret. Some poems "dodge" such preoccupations by playing with a nonce form called sonnet/ghazal. The collection contains a sequence of poems called "Current Events," based on newspaper stories. that is also a playful meditation on the nature of the interrogative pronouns (Who, What, Where, When . . . ) as well as another series of homophonic sonnets called "Clare-Hewn," which are aural "translations" of John Clare.

Update: So I finally finished and am no less enamored with this book. I'll admit my aesthetic biases up front: I work in syllabics myself and love a good pattern; I love poetry that is in direct conversation with the Tradition and gives winks and nods to the voices that shape us and the ground that has been broken by the poets that have come before, even if it's just something as casual as referencing a National Geographic in a dentist's waiting room; I love a good set of notes at the end of a collection that helps provide guide posts and contexts for the poet's obsessions within the volume, all the while explaining nothing but pointing toward where you can do more reading and research. I'm also more moved by poetry that gets me thinking, that has ideas fueling its imagery, poetry where the emotional intensity comes from the speaker caught in the act of thinking, thought process on the page. There's plenty of that here, and while there are enough poems with narrative for those who crave a good, compressed story ("Jealousy," "Pandora and the Summer Au Pair"), there are daring leaps too, such as the lovely word play and fixation on language as a thing in the "Current Events" sequence.
I think in the end all the things mentioned above along with the coupling of traditional forms with experimentation put this book over the top as a game-changer for me, or at least a book to be inspired by and turn to as I set my own thinking process to the page, focusing thinking through form, the idea, the image transformed in the act, captured in a thing called poem.
