Description
LIKE WORDSWORTH'S LUCY, Floyd Collins' Teresa is memory and
wound. Like Poe's Ligeia, she is myth and muse. Teresa is also flesh and
blood, a woman with whom Collins had a brief but intense relationship
a half-century ago, who gave his world color and texture, then animated
it before disappearing into the future. She exists now in poems that are
precise and allusive in their conjuring of one whose name becomes "a
byword for all things of beauty and grace." Collins, who has written a
book on Seamus Heaney and numerous essay-reviews on contemporary
poetry for The Gettysburg Review, The Georgia Review, and The Kenyon
Review, takes his rightful place among our most affective poets with
this lyrical sequence: "From the ruck and maul of our humanity... / we
rise incorruptible."
