The Scientist's Wife

Flock's The Scientist's Wife is a solution, not a resolution: The many variables of enduring love float in a murky suspension-what do we know, how do we transact, what are the impediments within the boundaries of commitment?-that Flock's poems, one by one, clarify. Her work is what science terms "elegant" shrewd, exacting, and necessary.
