Object Permanence: Poems

$16.00
To move through life is to attempt to find a sense of balance and structure. With Nica Bengzon’s Object Permanence, we witness poetry and its marriage to process. Every part of the poems in this collection is precise and deliberate, making the turn all the more impactful.
Bengzon’s writing is a microscope; she invites the reader to the smallest detail, leaving us gasping by the time we get to the big picture. She defies anyone who would argue that science and theory cannot be poetry. It rings with such a calculated beauty, akin to Katherine Larson’s poem, “Love at Thirty-Two Degrees,” where even grief is broken down into a dissection of energy and its conclusion, “the principle of the thing is forever.”
All are scrutinized in this space: family, bodies, animals, and religion. There is a variety in form with her poetry, a refreshing visual aspect seeming to portray her layout of thought. We are solving these equations with her, and these arrangements make her work even more breathtaking. Bengzon is a physicist with her poetry, transforming matter into something new, bringing new possibility to the genre of poetry with her work.
