Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. ARRIVAL is a poetry of experience, exuberant...This ramified ARRIVAL examines and addresses circumstance from every position including full frontal. The rhythms of Cox's lustrous book resonate and greet you with pleasure, with surprise--Norma Cole. Sarah Anne Cox has written a startlingly fine book, prompted from the investigating intelligence of a philosopher-poet unswerved by allegiance to system. Her questions--`clauses of effort and fear'--make immediate demands upon grammar's comfort and holding action, as they pry open the ear to a newly sounded scale of voice you may almost recognize. This is a visionary work, at once peripheral, diasporic, clustered, cocooned and exploded in its claim on our relation to contemporary hood-wink--Kathleen Fraser.
