Within The Space Between by Stacy Cartledge

Stacy Cartledge brings a new voice to American poetry that is at once lyrical and erudite.
These poems explore the space between passion and physics, singing of the textures of
geometry and the mathematics of love. In one section, Cartledge describes the “vectors
of motion” in a relationship; in others, he examines how physical artifacts inscribe a
landscape with the sacred. In all the poems, he combines a spareness of style with
a rich allusive base and a delicacy of sound.     Sonia Gernes

The zoom function of Cartledge’s poetic sequences renders the intimate
cosmological and the cosmological intimate: “the way that small space /
contains a whole world.” Equally at home among fractal logics as beside the
histories of myth and religion, this is a learned and urgent writing which at
its best is a welcome antidote to some of the more orthodox ironies of
recent poetry.   Keith Tuma
