Jennifer Dotson's poems-as-monologues range from subjects broadly cultural to intimately personal-say, Demeter, Jack and the Beanstalk, and the poet's trials with driving lessons. Delivered with self-effacing wit and deft comedic timing, the "talk" readers encounter here arrives casually if paradoxically within an array of traditional poetic forms. What's notable is how transparent such forms appear, each the apposite vessel for a poem's chitchat.
