This second book by Schnackenberg displays the formal virtuosity she has since become known for, and a rich, precise power of observation which displays itself in long sentences that turn gradually to reveal startling details. Schnackenberg delves into the subject matter of her own past and the complexities of her relationship with her father in poems such as "Supernatural Love," in which she recalls sewing the word "beloved," while her father investigates the etymology of the word "carnation" in the dictionary. This collection also goes back in time past the poet's own experience in historically imagined portraits of Chopin, Darwin, and others, including a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty tale.
