Look : poems / by Sharif, Solmaz,author.(CARDINAL)350733; Amazon Literary Partnership,funder.; Minnesota State Arts Board,funder.(CARDINAL)273800; Wells Fargo Foundation Minnesota,funder.;
"Solmaz Sharif's astonishing first book, Look, asks us to see the ongoing costs of war as the unbearable loss of human lives and also the insidious abuses against our everyday speech. In this virtuosic array of poems, lists, shards, and sequences, Sharif assembles her family's and her own fragmented narratives in the aftermath of warfare. Those repercussions echo into the present day, in the grief for those killed in America's invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and in the discrimination endured at the checkpoints of daily encounter. At the same time, these poems point to the ways violence is conducted against our language. Throughout this collection are words and phrases lifted from the Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms; in their seamless inclusion, Sharif exposes the devastating euphemisms deployed to sterilize the language, control its effects, and sway our collective resolve. But Sharif refuses to accept this terminology as given, and instead turns it back on its perpetrators. "Let it matter what we call a thing," she writes. "Let me look at you""--Amazon.com.National Book Award finalist.

Poems are nestled into three basic sections, "Months of the Year; Home and Family; and Everyday Musings." There is a poem for each calendar month and for the celebration of Christmas. Poetry also includes thoughts about community, family, and regions of the country. The hard work of the farmer is appreciated. Curious considerations about the serendipitous nature of life, our duties, and genealogy capture the imagination. There is even a poem to elucidate a life truth called "The Pollyanna Principle." Throughout, faith is a foundational presence. Prayers of invocation accompany some of the poetry. Our Lives in Verse presents thirty-five thoughtful, humorous, and joy filled poems that dovetail with the command in Philippians 4:8 to think about those things that are lovely, wholesome, and true to life.
