MY FAVORITE APOCALYPSE

Catie Rosemurgy, Catherine Jeanne Rosemurgy, . . Graywolf, $12.95 (99pp) ISBN 978-1-55597-323-0

In tumbling, delicate metaphors—"She's threatened with becoming// a rimed then a shattered rose/ ... The tiny, spiked,/ mathematically omniscient angels/ will carry her off/ the way a lake carries off/ a sheet of ice"—Rosemurgy renders the human penchant for splaying our internal workings across the outside world. A dispersed series of he-said/she-said pairs—wherein a woman has moved into a tent behind her and her boyfriend's house—shapes this lyric, relationship-oriented collection. (June)
