Julia Guez's In an Invisible Glass Case Which Is Also a Frame offers a glimpse of a post-9/11 America comprising binaries: at once bleak and hopeful, dark and light. It is an America of "Still Lives" with Vicodin, with opioid epidemic, with extreme weather--suggesting an ongoing journey fraught with peril for the most vulnerable among us. "Have we made it across the vast plain of night?" asks one poem. No, not quite. There is more night, but there is singing, too, and the sustenance of rituals to light the way.
