| book description |

The elegies that comprise Richard Greenfieldâ€™s third book of poems, Subterranean, open the rhetoric of the form in new ways, creating a site of grieving that transcends a focus on the death of the father. Though lyrical, these elegies juxtapose the collapse of hyper-economies against the collapse of ecosystems, exploring the overlap, or edge effect, of liminal encounters between the living and the dead, between the city and the wilderness, between the human and the animal, and between the haves and the have nots. Greenfield creates a sequence of associative, anxious, rambling, and digressive meditations bridging these harrowing divides and exposing the loneliness of grief and empty promise of connection in the age of late capitalism. Greenfield asks, â€œDo you want to call someone?â€ The human voice, transmitted through the cell phone, becomes a spectral voice and streams â€œup from the basin to the peak and its antenna and striates and sieves through solid structures to arrive in the spiral of the ear of anyone.
