TextPublisher: Ugly Duckling Presse 2011ISBN: 1933254858; 9781933254852Subject(s): NF | NonFiction | Poems | PoetrySummary: Poetry. In APPLIES TO ORANGES, Maureen Thorson's debut full-length collection of poems, oranges, spiders, tourists, and a Zenith television conspire to turn the conventions of narrative on its side. These poems fracture and refract narrative by crafting a story from seemingly absurd symbols whose recursive use defies coherence, but expand the imagination by gradually revealing an anachronistic, nostalgic, and cinematic world. The precision of these poems transforms a simple escapist fantasy into an internalized landscape that reveals both humor and sadness with successive repetition. - from Amzon
