Quiver

Maya Workowski’s collection of poems QUIVER is filled with truthful moments that are both dissonant and lyrical. They make the personal universal and the universal personal, dissecting moments in ways that encourage the reader to experience them through multiple facets. From “Cupid’s Orchestra” to “Airport Poem” to “Tarot is for the witches” she takes a specific moment of experience and expands it across the senses. Photographs are woven amongst the poems, although not directly mirroring them, allowing the reader to decide which photograph goes with which poem and how to interpret their own matches. Workowski also uses the white space of the page and the way the words of a particular poem are arranged on it to further boost the experience. QUIVER is a collection of poems to make the reader think, laugh, see, and, most importantly, feel.
