<p>Poetry. California Interest. Politics. COMMUNISM IS UP THERE AND WE ARE DOWN HERE... stages the playing out of that old adage and historical tragedy: Communism is better than communists. This friction, this incommensurability, constitutes it and wears us down. Blackburn writes of the necessary demand for partisanship and its uncomfortable relation to aesthetic norms. Her negative humor refuses to tip easily into despair, however close to the edge it approaches. What renews us, then, but it and poetry and each other, sometimes. Here is "communist ecstasy for recovering defeatists." If you swap the word feminism, it's still true and different. It's the same.</p>
