Synopsis "Catchment Area"

Like a geographic catchment area, this debut collection by Jena Schmitt draws together influences from poetry, prose, biography, art, architecture and history into a perceptive study of the forces that shape our physical and emotional landscapes. In a voice that is subtle yet distinctly confident, Schmitt describes how at times these forces are quiet as "sleet that turns to rain/ that turns to snow," and at times unyielding as a child who throws himself down in a tantrum.Catchment Area captures glimmers of that instance when, just as we are about to define the emergent terrain, just when variables such as an earring or glove could solve "any number of unknowns," the earth shifts -- whether due to memory, relationships, natural disasters or war -- leaving an absence that cannot be mapped. These poems call on the reader's own sense of this absence and how it impels us to search for meaning in a world of constant change, where each time we turn on the news we are witness to earthquakes and floods, or suburban homes turned into methamphetamine factories and bronze statues stolen from parks. And so we are brought to a place of possibility, a place to "revel in/ the parts that are/ missing: heart and mind/ like phantom limbs." Schmitt reveals the watershed point at which each of us stands, where we can go this way or that, where the struggle for articulation and understanding forms our own personal topographies.
