Installations — Joe Bonomo

Selected for the 2007 National Poetry Series by Naomi Shihab Nye

The prose poems in Installations invite the reader to encounter, in one extraordinary afternoon, a series of twenty art installations where something fantastic, perhaps improbable, occurs at the intersection of installed and imagined, spectator and event. Installations unites personal experience, suspense, and narrative -- in those moments when we are forever altered by the mysterious and the enchanted.
