With
the beauty and immediacy of an inexorable logic improvised on the spot, Kyger sings
the questioning mind and open heart through the careful notation of the nature
of nature, human and not human, seen and felt and imagined. What Olson called “causal mythology,” and
Whalen described as the “graph of a mind moving,” are woven by Kyger into an
everyday “familiar recognition”―
Remember how the heart is always
located
by its place in the body, by the bottom of a
mountain,
on the slopes to the sea
Watching
it go by as if owned by no one,
the ‘watcher’ sneezes and disappears
momentarily
