Playful Song Called Beautiful ranges far into the intersections of faith and scientific thought, places where there is no stranger who is / stranger than you, no / familiar whos more / familiar. In poems that are either formally rhymed and metered or written in syllabically structured three-line stanzas, Blair wanders among universal orders and failures of desire, where the unlikeliness of any of us being who we are, what we are, where we are forces us to considerand reconsiderthe possibilities of belief and meaning. Blairs poems are elegant and earthy, sometimes profane, and sometimes lovingly playful.
