Lampblack & Ash: Poems

Simone Muench

There is something utterly in thrall here, honey-slow and fixated. Driven by obsession–in particular, obsession with the legendary French poet, Robert Desnos–Muench’s identification with a true self beyond the self’s known truth is startling. –from the introduction by Carol Muske-Dukes Simone’s poems have a confidence and sophistication of what I like to call intentionality. Also wit, grace, poise, and a relationship to writing beyond self-referential feeling.
–Anne Waldman

Lush, sprouting, sensuous images line-by-line, adopting myth freely, Muench’s poems are volatile explosives, circling beauty. –James Tate
