![]() ![]() With an agility of language that is both intimate and far-gazing, Dubrow examines the difficulty of communication between man and woman, military and civilian, service member and academic. Jehanne Dubrow’s newest collection, Dot & Dashes, masterfully plays with the military’s attempts of simplifying and standardizing information. ![]() ![]() Brian Turner, author of Here, Bullet and Phantom Noise Isolation, separation, the silences and failures of communication- Dots & Dashes is a series of messages called out over the waters of a life, a reminder that sailors are not always the ones who are lost at sea. While these poems offer lenses into the interiority of an often closed-off world, the core experiences within these poems don’t reside on military bases and in military life alone. This is a difficult and layered collection, one that refuses to avert its gaze from trouble in all its overt and nuanced forms. With Dots & Dashes, Jehanne Dubrow adds a sixth volume to our bookshelves of necessary poetry, and we are given a panoramic view of the landscape of marriage within the structure and confines of military life.
