Nothing Mechanical About this Dynamic Collection

With "Mechanical Cluster," Patty Seyburn has established, without question, that she is one of the most original and exciting poets writing today. Using the Ford Motor Company's term for the automobile's grouping of warning lights and gauges on the instrument panel as her title and metaphor, Seyburn explores a Detroit childhood to a California adulthood. Growing up, confronting the sometimes confounding adult world, and then (eventually) entering that same world through love and marriage, Seyburn's language is both familiar and elusive. This is a compelling, rich book that makes you feel and think at the same time.
