Title: Unpolished, but fine-grained.
Review: Amy Fleury, Beautiful Trouble (Southern Illinois University Press, 2004)I wasn't quite sure what to make of Beautiful Trouble, the 2004 Crab Orchard First Book Award winner, for the first few pages. Once I got into the rhythm of Amy Fleury's poetry, however, it was like a wire tripped in my head, and I devoured the rest of the book in one sitting. Fleury is at her best in the last section of the book, where her triple obsessions of sensuality, rural life, and time all converge:"Once again we stumble outof sheet tangle and the dross of dreams.Daylight comes in little sipsover the lip of the bitter cup.It is enough to sustain us.It is enough to know thatwe will go out againwith all our failings and loose change,dazzled and hopefulin the splendor of the sun."("Aubade")Solid stuff, worth reading, with a real honesty to it: this is unvarnished in the best of ways, like a bare floor capable of giving you splinters, but still attractive enough that you refuse to carpet it. ***
