Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. POLAROIDS is a collection that both questions and undermines all of our assumptions about how we choose to 'see' our world. This is always the highest ambition of art. As we question the stability of what moves in and out of vision in our material world, how can we help but to look ever more deeply within? The poems of Steven Paschall's POLAROIDS are like images from a deck of blackened Tarot cards, a sequence of which begins foretelling our futures now hanging in the deepest of mists, futures we can only viscerally sense but never completely apprehend, never entirely bring into focus, never in our lifetimes finally--truly--see--David St. John.
