Lindenbergs billowing, Icontainmultitudes style lays bare the poets sadnesses, joys, and longings in poems that are lyric and narrative, at once plainspoken and musically elaborate.Regarding her role in Arnolds story, Lindenberg writes with cleareyed humility and endearing dignity: The girl with the inkstained teeth / knows shes famous / in a tiny, tragic way. / Shes not / daft, after all. And then later, playfully, of her travels in Italy with the poet, her lover: The carabinieri / wanted to know if there were bears / in our part of America. Yes, we said, / many bears. Maneating bears? Yes, of course, / many maneating bears.
