A playful, ecstatic, and invigorating collection of lyrical work by one of America's finest young poets. Farnoosh Fathis poetry has been admired for its riot of associations and sonic improvisations (Christine Hume, Boston Review); its commitment to fathoming language as what it isan unfathomable depth. Granny Cloud, Fathis second book of poems, showcases her gifts both in short works of prodigious concentration and in a long poem, Anyones Dontanelle, composed of the drafts and do-overs that led to Fontanellea wild reimagining of the dispirited court tumbler said to have inspired St. Franciss Jugglers of God. Granny Cloud is a portrait of ecstatic decisions and revisions, constantly reversed, constantly renewed.
