Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti - Michael Glover - Bog

Mistaking You for a Shower of Summer Confetti, Michael Glover's first book-length poem, is a reverie by turns casually whimsical, oblique, impassioned, mocking and dismissive. The speaker addresses an absent partner, trawling through their lives together, asking questions that will forever remain unanswerable about places, incidents and people that drift into his consciousness. Is this the remnants of an old love or an old enmity that he is striving to resurrect?
Michael's words offer up a range of possible meanings to the paintings. David's paintings illuminate the words, and the spaces between the words. The combination of word and image makes for an enriching partnership.
