4.9/5 (20497 ratings)

Description:"The poems in Copia are about what is and what is almost-gone, what is in limbo and what won't give way, what is almost at rock bottom but still and always brimming with the possibility of miracle."—Rachel ZuckerErika Meitner's fourth book takes cues from the Land Artists of the 1960s who created work based on landscapes of urban peripheries and structures in various states of disintegration. The collection also includes a section of documentary poems about Detroit that were commissioned for Virginia Quarterly Review.Because it is an uninhabited place, because itmakes me hollow, I pried open the pages ofDetroit: the houses blanked out, factoriesabsorbed back into ghetto palms and scrub-oak, piles of tires, heaps of cement block.Vines knock and enter through shattereddrop-ceilings, glassless windows. Ragwortcracks the street's asphalt to unsolvablepuzzles.Meitner also probes the hulking ruins of office buildings, tract housing, superstores, construction sites, and freeways, and doesn't shy from the interactions that occur in Walmart and supermarket parking lots.It is nearly Halloween, which meanswrong sizes on Wal-Mart racks, variety bags ofpumpkins extinguishing themselves on the stoopchildren from the trailer park trawling our identical lawns soonso we can give away nickels, light, sandpaper, raisins, cement.Erika Meitner was a 2009 National Poetry Series winner.
