Poetry. Written in the first years of the poet''s marriage, inspired by a magical yard belonging to her and her husband''s first apartment, the poems in Barbara Blatner''s new book, LIVING WITH YOU, explore mysteries of beauty and decay, love and sex, ecstasy and temporality. In its use of silence and space, LIVING WITH YOU recalls the work of George Oppen, Robert Duncan, and poets of similar sensibility. Abstract in texture, specific in their music, these images probe the world we see and touch and the world we do not see but sense.
