The Cumulus Effect (Stahlecker Selections)
The Cumulus Effect alternates between the act of forgetting and the tumult of remembering. Minimalist, but insistently mercurial, the poems move through American and European cities: seduction in an Neoclassical palace in Saint Petersburg; a “hindsight of blood” in New York City; late-summer longing in Berlin’s Senefelder Platz. The Cumulus Effect sets on the page a prismatic and complex topography of the body forever en route.
