In this work, Rosemarie Dombrowki's poetry dwells between the verbal and the nonverbal through her creation of gripping symbols to represent the everyday life she shares with her autistic son. The result is a lyrical, visceral dance that entices the reader into a music-world of language to sway together with Dombrowski and her son as they navigate the hostilities of medical specialists, the ignobilities of the body, and discover a makeshift communication of sounds and images, where we hang precariously, along with her, between the good days and the bad ones.

The Book of Emergencies

These technically experimental poems express an almost religious devotion to the minerals of the Southwest, but they are also a kind of sleight-of-hand, creating a metonymic landscape where every corner of the Southwest represents a human love affair with land, body, and other. Thus, the poems are a geologically obfuscated narrative sequence, a story of our desire for anything volcanic, anything that approximates a cure for the modern world, a heaven of the earth's making.
