The Nervous Filaments

David Dodd Lee

4.9/5 (27556 ratings)

Description:The word “Filament,” taken from David Dodd Lee’s title The Nervous Filaments , suggests both a fine threadand the element of a light bulb that can be heated to incandescence, and appropriately so, as each of theseilluminated poems acts as a thread in a finely woven collection. Together they create a cultural commentarythat is at once wry and satirical while still teeming with emotion. “One of the new jobs we have is dating // youwork in reality TV—// the myth of the soul mate,” Dodd writes, but is the soul mate a myth? Still wary, Doddsays “Love is a form of gambling,” yet allows emotion to make its way “Pushing the linens back / weconceive a love.” This is the beauty of these Dodd is able to find underlying truth and emotion in asometimes artificial and frenzied world, as when a speaker declares “I know I woke up / and the sun wasstaring at me // Orange Juice // it’s all about packaging // And the mockingbird knows something at 2 a.m.” Lee’s poems explore both presence and absence, or, rather, what is present in the space created by “Ihave this candle and what she left on it // her smell.” The juxtaposition of stark imagery in The NervousFilaments creates an acute sense of longing and “She got the call at ten ‘oh’ seven // every child in herclass began evaporating . . . // no good bye kiss // not even a word // driving and driving over long bridges.” Weare continually left with a haunted feeling that the voices in these poems feel as we feel, and that theyexperience what we have or will experience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
