BASIL KING'S MIRAGE REVIEWED IN TALISMAN
John O'Connor reviews Basil King's MIRAGE in the new Winter 2004 issue of TALISMAN: A Journal of Contemporary Poetry and Poetics! Here's an excerpt:
The painter Basil King's Mirage would have us believe that fact can be sufficient poetry -- a claim that underlies much of our best poetry from Williams' Paterson to Notley's Mystery of Small Houses -- but King adds that if the fact is not already in the world, it is the artist's option (prerogative?) to put it there.
Begun in 1992, when theorists rhapsodized obscurely about the "death of the I," Mirage in effect suggests the claim was somewhat premature. Mirage? No. The mirage is not the mirage of the "I" (which in fact proves to be one thing that can honestly be called "real") but the mirage of things the imagination transforms into its own necessities and facts:
For the woman
he wants
has been
taken
from him
and between
his hands
he sees
her face
he sees
she is
not real
but still
he cares
for her ...
It is the imagination, not merely a theory of the imagination, that is in charge here...
