The Underwater Typewriter immerses us in the ritual of finding and expressing voice, bestowed by grace, in the face of cruelty, chance, betrayal and loss. It arrives as a collection of weathered shards, gathered and turned, through which light and by implication love, bent and at times nearly occluded, passes kaleidoscopically. The Underwater Typewriter’s shifting patterns reveal the variety and range demanded of a poet traversing brutal terrain, tempted by but refusing bitterness. Zegans’ poetry inverts Browning, finding human possibility in the broken, and discovers life beyond Joseph Cornell’s wistful memory compiled in the collage of remaindered things. Listen closely as you read, for sound travels great distances under water.
