Jessica Grim:
THE INVETERATE LIFE


O Books
5729 Clover Drive
Oakland, CA, 94618


61 pp., $7.50

This is a volume of prose format poems, a newer sentence, if you please, enacting a kind of drama of the daily fact transmogrified. Jessica Grimm's work shirks nothing. It's always on, attentive to synapses and lapses of thought, sounding well-envisioned thinking, feeling out amongst a thorough listening.

Recently I read Twyla Tharp's autobiography and wanted to dance. THE INVETERATE LIFE makes me want to write -- it is that inspiring.--Tom Beckett
