Amazon.com Review
Rife beautifully indulges the joy in wordplay all language lovers have. In each poem is a delightful discovery, a surprise in recognizing the event and the exactness of the poem's meaning and imagery. Stefanie Marlis has exceptional talent in both metaphor and revelation; her images subtly build into fresh vision. The poem "The World" describes bravery in the attempt to rewrite a friend's life, like "a threaded needle pulling you / to the other side of the cloth." If you like the poetry of James Dickey or Jorie Graham, you'll enjoy Marlis's Rife.
Product Description
In her second collection of poetry, Stefanie Marlis reveals a mind remarkably equipped for the world's abundant variety. She considers a dizzying array of stimuli including skunks, luckless moths, tumors, planets, and sugar, as well as words themselves. With rapt attention, Marlis makes explicit the importance of each part to the whole: "And each character strikes the page like a bell, and dwells there-an inked figure buried, burrowing in the white earth. Here, give me your finger,"these poems seem to say, "fell the halo around each letter."
