Announcing the 2006 recipient of the prestigious Yale Younger Poets prizeJessica Fishers FrailCraft is winner of the 2006 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition and judge Louise Glcks fourth selection for the series. The book and the dream are the poets primary objects of investigation here. Through deft, quietly authoritative lyrics, Fisher meditates on the problems and possibilitiesthe frail craftof perception for the reader, the dreamer, maintaining that if the eye can loveand it can, it doesthen I held you and was held. In her foreword to the book, Louise Glck writes that Fishers poetry is haunting, elusive, luminous, its greatest mystery how plainspoken it is. Sensory impressions, which usually serve as emblems of or connections to emotion, seem suddenly in this work a language of mind, their function neither metonymic nor dramatic. They are like the dye with which a scientist injects his specimen, to track some response or behavior. Fisher uses the sense this way, to observe how being is converted into thinking.
