The rush of unknowing, decoding the wind, the body becomes an antenna. Following behind Jack Spicer's \u003cem\u003eAfter Lorca\u003c\/em\u003e and swinging its ovaries, Laura Wetherington's second book uses the concept of translation to create original poems from the work of writers like Liliane Giraudon, Marie  tienne, Dominique Fourcade, and Jean-Marie Gleize. These poems run through a liminal linguistic space where meaning, mishearing, and dreams collide, sometimes midsentence, where they hinge into song: \"My man animal took shape in a shadow, \/ climbed over an obstacle, \/ became the void.\" Interstitial love letters to queer writers process a miscarriage, the most recent election, and queer puppy love. This is a book of yearning-for a foreign tongue, for a body growing inside the body, and for a form of communication that can capture feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a constant textual drama in the address and voice of Laura Wetherington's heady poems; a mirror staged. With monologues, letters, lyrics, and prose she performs a writing through to a new ground of sensation and thinking. Call it the present. The music is gorgeous and the sound is captivating. Parallel Resting Places is a wonderful book and a welcome addition to a tradition that troubles tradition. -Peter Gizzi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaura Wetherington's\u003c\/strong\u003e first book, \u003cem\u003eA Map Predetermined and Chance\u003c\/em\u003e, was selected by C.S.
