Born Two

Allison Cobb's Born 2 features two sections of Lisa Jarnot-inspired graphic work (""One-Foot Book"" and ""J Poems"") where founded text and ripped icons form an uneasy landscape and where what's crossed out is as important as what remains. Among much else, the remaining four sections touch on Cobb's difficult identity as a poet from Los Alamos (""a homeland/ he wants a box there/ he wants them to burn""), the myriad ways in which New Mexico has been (mis-)appropriated (""Dirt knows."") and the colloquy of ""Polar Bear and Desert Fox,"" where ""Livey life tress thigh arrows vroom blue.""
