Conjunctions: 48, Faces of Desire (Conjunctions)
Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Mary Caponegro, ...

Bard College, 2007

"Desire, for hire, would tire a shire," James Joyce wrote in Finnegans Wake, though Conjunctions: 48 proposes the shire'd be tired even if the desire weren't hired. Desire informs everything we do, from the smallest gestures to the grandest concerns. When it establishes residence in the heart, it becomes a tireless engine, motivating good, and by turns evil. Yearning can be sexual or religious, charitable or greedy, thoughtful or callous, ...

Wonderful piece of work
I was exposed to Ms. Caponegro's work thanks to the wonderful book, "You've Got To Read This!", where writers share stories by other writers that inspired or moved them. The Star Cafe is a dazzling display of human mental interplay and inner mental workings. I greatly enjoyed it.

The Complexities of Intimacy

Caponegro loves the language
Mary Caponegro has a beautiful grasp of the language. The first story is especially haunting. Her stories suspend the reader in a dream-like state, surrounding you with more words than you know what to do with. The writing is lovely, but it doesn't make for a quick read. The characters are quirky and original, the situations unique, but... the book does little to pass the time. I would ...

Five Doubts

CAPONEGRO HITS THE MARK
Mary Caponegro's work demands and rewards close reading. With _Five Doubts_ she has nuzzled herself a spot among the contemporary greats. In it she is both a persistent iconolast and an adoring iconographer, at once tearing down the old myths and building new ones, for new times, Caponegro knows, demand new myths. Buy this intoxicating book. You won't regret it.

A Convergence of Birds: Original Fiction and Poetry Inspired by Joseph Cornell

the blackbird whistling
I received this book from an old friend who I hadn't seen in nearly twenty years--she showed up unannounced, spent a few hours sitting in the sun, and then disappeared just as unexpectedly. I still don't know if she meant to leave the book behind, but I've decided that I won't give it up. Cornell's boxes have a strange beauty that seems to attract strange birds--deceptively simple, at first you ...

All Fall Down
Mary Caponegro

Coffee House Press, 2009

In two novellas and four shorter tales of love and healing gone awry, we meet caregivers and lovers, muses and skydivers, mothers and minors?all headed toward ?ninety mile-an-hour psychic crashes euphemistically referred to as epiphanies.? As William Gass says, ?The music of Mary Caponegro?s stories is to the mouth what wine is.? And through exuberant lyricism, remarkable characterization, and settings as elaborately detailed as any in ...
