The Sugar Borders

William Fuller
$12.00

In The Sugar Borders, William Fuller creates a flat space of “middles” which is everywhere, “the cave of all.” The viewer is up so close seeing oneself that one’s / its “wet muscles repose there.” As if one hallucinates oneself having a dream, one sees oneself who’s any viewer being the “natural world” where “we” fly and “pigeons sit down to their meal, without bodies.” This writing puts pressure on its space to view realistically by its “flat/objective” approach with no view that proscribes or “understands”: “The upper part of the world lives on an island, fishing in flames.”

William Fuller grew up in Barrington, Illinois, and received his PhD from the University of Virginia in 1983. His most recent books of poetry include Daybreak (Flood Editions, 2020), Playtime (Flood Editions, 2015), and Hallucination (Flood Editions, 2011).
