• Summary

  Echoing the 24 frames per second that create the perception of movement in film, Excursion’s 24 poems ask how to push forward what’s static. Set between two times and spaces—a couple in a hotel room, and a brother and a sister on a boat—these poems explore the tension contained in the double meaning of the word “excursion”: the fixity of a route and the possibility of departing from it.
