Poetry. In these visually and aurally challenging poems, Mary Rising Higgins uses language to generate its own Joule effect in which the energy of words actively resists the reduction of meaning to a single source or intent. As words and phrases swirl, slide, and collide on the plane of the page, they place and displace each other according to the new and ancient laws of what might be called either the physics of poiesis or the poiesis of physics: Where axial bones collect in a reliquary of U, / toward blurfract unstable opposites dissolve. / Slight polar forces attract as in one molecule by / two or more spaces approximate episodes underlie. Following )locus TIDES(( (Potes & Poets Press, 2002) and )cliff TIDES(( (Singing Horse Press, 2005), )joule TIDES(( is the third installment of Higgins' astonishing series of poems.
