Poetry. In Susanne Dyckman's first full-length collection, following from her Etherdome Press chapbook published in 2005, poetic tonalities and phrasings are used to disrupt the chronology of past and present. Language plays—and replays—across the page, radiating from interiority to historical concreteness and back again. The reader is impelled through a temporal spiral, "the body as it moves in sequences of rain". Born in Chicago, Susanne Dyckman has lived in cities on both coasts of the U.S., finally settling in Albany, California, where she curates the Evelyn Avenue reading series. She is the author of two chapbooks, Transiting Indigo (Etherdome Press) and Counterweight (Woodland Editions).
