Karen Houle's Ballast draws us into a strange, elliptical world -- scientific in its interests and methods but tender, smart, and enlightening in its impulses. Houle's poems are often ordeals deriving their materials from the natural world. Building opulently from incident, the poems are suffused with an erotic and lyrical attraction to abstract thinking and announce the shocking beauty and vitality of the organic world.
