Reviews The poems in Begin at Once are truly investigations,
never simply statements of things the poet already claims to know.
They wander sometimes lightly, sometimes darkly, sometimes
with a quiet but sharp irony, but always generously over
all sorts of contrasting subjects with a startling insight that
traces the swift and shocking changes of a life lived in a world
thats genuinely right here, right now. Beth Joselows
poems discover, and uncover, keen truths that always surprise
and unsettle and make us think again about things we believed
we understood.Theres real wisdom in Begin At Once, and the
world sure does need more of that. Joselows poems are tender numbers
for people who used to be hungry. Weve been
chowing down on the drill, organizing our lives around days of
rain/bells with colors/gears without mesh until we experience
more numbers/further use as
elusive optimism/skin
of ice
So how do we unsettle the daily bout? Joselow
suggests we take each poem as one more time to be
simply there In support of ________
To
contain _______ so that we have some unslotted space to
sit down now, begin at once.
