Description

If poems are meant to share experience, and create shared events, reading's a unification that can be similar to loss: an experience for everyone. This is a chapbook of twenty-five poems on loss, gathering of what isn't gone, and what's changed. "We are never alone in any event," is a reminder in the title poem, that the death of an entity--individual, an era, status, art, mechanism, monument, or rite--is also an opening.

This is the 2nd edition of this chapbook, revisited and recreated in the aftermath of the abrupt shutting of a small press. In "Returning," Deutsch writes, "I've wasted the last four years...Bees escape plants without flowers."

Reviews

"Carry On," the front cover says, coupling those two words with "(elegies)," and that's a double-edged phrase, the title poem being about carry-on luggage. Adam Deutsch's chapbook of twenty-five poems is double-edged throughout. On first reading, it's very author-personal and self-referential, as elegies often will be, but a later, careful oral reading makes the poems reader-personal, universally affective, and quite rewarding.
