NOTES FROM THE PASSENGER
New from Nightboat Books 2023
Gillian Conoley’s Notes from the Passenger reads as if written “in an aura of intimacy,” intimacy with the daughter, the lover, the reader, the dead, and with the spirit, sometimes called God, sometimes called “the messenger.” In wide-open poems that expose the junk and the beauty of the material world, the violence and the grace within … Conoley embraces “mortality . . .with its rosy edge of want” while catapulting toward the infinite, what she calls the “next next world.”
