PRAISE:
In Making Figures in the Ward, George Seli explores the quiet fractures of modern life—estrangement, individualism, and the psychological terrain we often retreat into. These poems move through communal spaces like tenements and family homes, where connection feels out of reach, and into dream-like inner landscapes shaped by memory, dislocation, and surreal imagery. Seli writes with precision and restraint, giving even the strangest scenes a sense of emotional weight and clarity. “Finales continue outside / awkward and unrehearsed. / They never end,” he observes, calling us to open our eyes to the beautiful and tragic dramas that surround us, of which we too play a part.
