Publisher Description:

Poetry. Between being and seeming, there is always a point of agreement, as if being and seeming were two inclined planes that converge and become one. This observation by novelist José Saramago opens Deborah Diemont's third collection, THE CHARMED HOUSE, in which diverse forms--villanelle, triolet, blank verse, nonce forms and prose poems--look at the meaning of home, as structure and metaphor. With meditations on twentieth century paintings by Rufino Tamayo; pre-Columbian sites; Victorian houses in contemporary US neighborhoods; and US and expatriate culture, the book considers relationships between the personal and communal, and of history to the present moment. It aims to provide pleasure to the reader with sound and sense, color and rhyme, imagery and music.
