Readers familiar with Lia Purpura's highly praised essay collections-Becoming, On Looking, and Rough Likeness-will know she's a master of observation, a writer obsessed with the interplay between humans and the things they see. The subject matter of All the Fierce Tethers is wonderfully varied, both low (muskrats, slugs, a stained quilt in a motel room) and lofty (shadows, prayer, the idea of beauty). In "e;Treatise Against Irony,"e; she counters this all-too modern affliction with ferocious optimism and intelligence: "e;The opposite of irony is nakedness."e; In "e;My Eagles,"e; our nation's symbol is viewed from all angles-nesting, flying, politicized, preserved. The essay in itself could be a small anthology. And, in a fresh move, Purpura turns to her own, racially divided Baltimore neighborhood, where a blood stain appears on a street separating East (with its Value Village) and West (with its community garden). Finalist for the National Book Critics Award, winner of the Pushcart Prize, Lia Purpura returns with a collection both sustaining and challenging.
