C. S. Giscombe's Here is a long, single poem that takes place in a progression of three settings, three unlikely locations: the edges of the urban south, the edges--just beyond and just within the city--of rural Ohio, and the places where upstate New York forms the border with Canada, "the next country." Here is racial in its knowledge and acknowledgment of the great geographic archetype, the journey north; yet the work's nature denies the closure of destination. The poem's interest instead is in statement(s) of situation, in "the path traced by a moving point." First published by Dalkey Archive Press in 1994, now available again.
C. S. Giscombe is the author of several books of poetry, including Giscome Road and Prairie Style. He has also published a memoir entitled Into and Out of Dislocation; Back Burner, a collection of essays about poetry, color, transportation, cooking, etc., is forthcoming from Dalkey Archive Press. He teaches at the University of California at Berkeley.
