January Machine<\/em> is a book-length poem comprised of sonnets and sonnet sequences interrupted by static.
\nRooted in the modern American moment, this poem seeks to understand the intersection of Whitman\u2019s
\nplurality and Oppen\u2019s \u201cshipwreck of the singular.\u201d In the midst of geographic dislocation, the lyric \u201cI\u201d
\nbecomes a place; \u201cI am the I undone, immersed \/ in perspective,\u201d Schlegel writes. \u201cI am an American sigh,
\na limit \/ of language, a limit of privilege, \/ in this excess, a thousand exits.\u201d<\/p>\n

From January Machine<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Around those whose agendas\nare national, I need to know\nwhat national is. Its use seems limited\nto the human condition,\nbut its condition seems fueled\nby privilege. Providing a continent\nwith names--historical,<\/pre>\n
formal, or otherwise–gives it boundaries, but it’s the size of the country that overwhelms me. In each moment of silence a new consciousness. I want again that feeling of being engaged in the world–into language I am putting back my body.<\/div>\n
