The Acquiescent Villa

The Acquiescent Villa (LSU Press 1998)

In her first book of poems, Paula Closson Buck writes the way Picasso paints — with slanted angles of approach and departure that give us the human heart passionately at work. A restless explorer of the world as body, the body as world, she is acutely aware of the ways in which language creates and sustains these spheres, bringing them sometimes into collision, sometimes into balance. Her poems are journeys into marriage and memory via ship or the body’s furious train — to Spain, to Germany, to the Turkish baths, to the corner store for bread.… With elegant diction, an acute sense of the line, an honest and compelling struggle to know, to feel, to balance conflicting desires, this premiere collection offers compelling and mature work.

 

“The celebration in these poems is so probing and relentless it approaches an incandescence of mind itself. But it’s never pure. The impure, that is, the world in its materiality, is always hugely present in Closson Buck’s lines. What a gift.”

–Li Young Lee

“These are powerful, daring poems, and a new voice is immediately audible in them. They are original in that they speak with authority out of one life, the light and hope and pain that play through it, the moments and singular details they touch upon. The Acquiescent Villa is a remarkable debut, and Closson Buck, I believe, is already a poet to read with care, and to watch for.”

–W. S. Merwin
