Winner of the National Book Award for PoetryAn adventurer, Lisel Mueller pursues the protean possibilities of communication. In Dreisers works she finds language solid, as plain as money, / a workable means of exchange. More often she experiences exhilaration in the shapes that communication makes possible. In Talking with Helen, for example, she recreates Heller Kellers flash of discovery when water suddenly became language, the stream that connected time and space, maple leaves and hands.Muellers poetry links varying forms: music and discourse, memory and immediacy. Perennial weeds in her title poem recall ancient times and prayerful monks. Musical namesTeasel / yarrow / goldenrod / wheat / bed strawhold the moment still like the echoes of a tolling bell.Im trying to make connections, Lisel Mueller says of her poems, looking for links between where we have been and where we are going, between the life outside and the life within.
