Same Faces by Albert Mobilio
The Geographics teems with heady, inexhaustible embarkation. A piece of the self is buried inside each departure and, we learn, “the ground itself is launched.” That the skies are “geologic” might thus come as no surprise, but what’s around the next clausal bend or stipulatory turn almost always does. This extraordinary book is wise beyond comment or commendation, so true to its way it adduces its own lucid blurb, albeit unintended: “These documents require better lips than ours.”
