Runnerup for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (2004)Runnerup for the ForeWord magazine's Book of the Year Award (2003)Heather McHugh's new book, Eyeshot, is a brooding, visionary work that takes aim at the big questionsthose of love and death. The poems suggest that such immensities balance on the smallest details, and that a range of human blindness is inescapable.The power of this new work comes from its delicate yet tenacious fidelity to the everunfolding senses of sense. The poems invite the reader to follow careening words and insights through passages both playful and profound. Her 'Fido, Jolted by Jove' reveals the tension endemic to both language and living: 'the world itself is worried.' Yet the same poem remarks the high price of any reductive fix: 'a brain this insecure may need another bolt be driven in it.' This movement between anxiety and the human compulsion for order informs Eyeshot's darkly comic, 20/20 acuity.
