Hip, contemplative, and dark and resistant to the hunky-dory, the New Agey, and the prescriptive, they're unnerving, funny, and occasionally subversive.\"— \u003ci\u003eBookforum\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoet, novelist, and Fence Books founder Rebecca Wolff's internal monologue made external in poetry is uncanny. Her musical and darkly funny fourth collection, \u003ci\u003eOne Morning\u003c\/i\u003e —, spans language, culture, art history, love, passion, grief, consumerism, environmental devastation, and the ekphrastic experience of pop and high culture. She experiments with torque, energy, narrative—two steps ahead of herself with the reader on her heels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eFrom \"Today Is a Good Day to Fly (Life Begins at)\":\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eI'm really digging this blue sky after so much rain with my regular menstrual\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003ecycle my Def Jam\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprogesterone cream the blow-in (in my pocket)\u003cbr\u003e(ripped out) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003efrom in-flight music magazine\u003cbr\u003e\"touching cloth\"\u003cbr\u003elike the Romantics do.\u003cbr\u003eInsert jitney.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eRebecca Wolff \u003c\/b\u003e is the author of four collections of poetry, one novel, and numerous pieces of occasional prose.
