This powerful collection of poems from Laura Mullen is the edgy, unashamedly experimental, and formally inventive book of a poet who has found her way to her own voice or style -- or rathervoices and styles, for there are several. The poems of After I Was Dead develop harmonically rather than melodically: they leap from one register, one voice, one tone to another in deft juxtapositions that carry narrative only incidentally, destabilizing traditional notions of development. These poems are honed by a fine intelligence into elegant, sometimes funny art, as in Autumn: Her hair, brown. / Her specialty, damage. / Her specialty, becoming / Something else. Her hair, falling / Leaves, leaf rot, and then soil. Through her rediscovery of the freedom Emily Dickinson located in beingA collection of poems that develop harmonically rather than melodically. Through her rediscovery of the freedom Emily Dickinson located in being dead, Mullen attempts to increase the territory of the contemporary poem.
