About

Day In, Day Out Synopsis

Day In, Day Out is a book of journal poems mapping the time period between 11 April 2012 and 27 June 2014-on the track of American poet/translator Paul Blackburn - between San Diego and Brooklyn, with stop offs in New York City, London, Vancouver, L.A., and Glasgow. Each poem is in the moment of its detail and the materiality of its experience, which only these foreign eyes passing through and about and around those distant places can realise. Its pacing is breakneck and nonchalant, hysterical and insouciant, blurred, with a pin-sharp focus. This is poetry fully alive to its particular time and place, steeped in the precision of its perceptions and the act of perceiving. This is a book that telescopes the long-distance of the past into the talismanic immediate, articulating and attending to particularity over generality in the process. It is a book that explores and interrogates the world by plane rather than road, tips straight ahead, attuned to attention itself.
