A playful, ecstatic, and invigorating collection of lyrical work by one of America’s finest young poets.
Farnoosh Fathi’s poetry has been admired for its “riot of associations and sonic improvisations” (Christine Hume, Boston Review); its commitment to fathoming language as what it is–an unfathomable depth. Granny Cloud, Fathi’s second book of poems, showcases her gifts both in short works of prodigious concentration and in a long poem, “Anyone’s Don’tanelle,” composed of the drafts and do-overs that led to “Fontanelle”–a wild reimagining of the dispirited court tumbler said to have inspired St. Francis’s “Jugglers of God.” Granny Cloud is a portrait of ecstatic decisions and revisions, constantly reversed, constantly renewed.Author: Farnoosh Fathi
