words toward K. Iver’s ‘Short Film Starring My Beloved’s Red Bronco’ (Milkweed Editions 2023)
Short Film Starring My Beloved’s Red Bronco
K. Iver
Milkweed Editions 2023
K.Iver’s Short Film Starring My Beloved’s Red Bronco is a vivifying work of the wrecked and the revisited. The world here ends might it outlast, or at least timestamp, revelation. Identity has two ghosts that meet in their sleep. I don’t know what I remember. Iver’s annotated amnesia is long on imagination, and has the memory of grief, and the verse distills both into tactile divinations and paused pleas. What singing. What an unmarred chorus culled from an embodied body so uncalled from its de-miracled angel. It's a collection to behold. And one that heartbreakingly withstands the withheld.
