The View They Arrange by Dale Going Poems 1995, 80 pp. $10 ISBN 0-932716-33-4

Dale Going translates the language of dancers rushing forward and apart into an elastic poetic form. In this extended, newly unified space, she observes the everyday living arrangements of family and friends; recalls an experience of confluence of her own chemotherapy treatments with the nuclear accident at Chernobyl; and meditates on the feminist implications of keeping a journal ("a habit that doesn't require perfection"). Kathleen Fraser describes Going's writing as "cream-thick dream think, edible and langorous."
"It is rare that one comes across a book that once read demands to be read
again and again. This is one of those times."
