Poetry. This narrative lyric sequence is lit with a ravishing light: part erotic, part nuclear, entirely mutagenic, dangerously Sublime. From a point both in the past and the future, from a narrow cell that is at once the lyric, the body, a fort, a hospital bed, an escape pod, the mind, and memory itself, the narrator relates in image-rich lines the several rises and falls of a beloved, a queen, a monster, a regime, an imperium, a self, and the self's various selves: as lover, captive, traitor, soldier, sensory apparatus and memory machine. Like Dante's La Vita Nuova, HELSINKI shows how the lyric, while apparently encapsulated by form, is in fact vulnerable to dazzling competing proximities--to Love, to the Past, to Story, to Power, and to Obliteration.
