Sinossi
In Domain of Perfect Affection, Robin Becker explores the conditions under which we experience and resist pleasure: in beauty salon, summer camp, beach, backyard, or museum; New York or New Mexico. &;The Mosaic injunction against / the graven image&; inspires meditations on drawings by Dürer, Evans, Klee, Marin, and del Sarto. To the consolations of art and human intimacy, Becker brings playfulness&;&;Worry stole the kayaks and soured the milk&;&;suffused with self-knowledge: &;Worry wraps her long legs / around me, promises to be mine forever.&; In &;The New Egypt,&; the narrator mines her family&;s legacy: &;From my father I learned the dignity / of exile and the fire of acquisition, / not to live in places lightly, but to plant / the self like an orange tree in the desert.&; Becker&;s shapely stanzas&;couplets, tercets, quatrains, pantoum, sonnet, syllabics&;subvert her colloquial diction, creating a seamless merging of subject and form. Luminous, sensual, these poems offer sharp pleasures as they argue, elegize, mourn, praise, and sing.
