Reviewer notes where this work is similar to another notable poet. She gives the reader a taste of its similar yet original works.
-
These poems suggest that communities are laboratories of the mind, where reveries seize bodies busy clearing space for different kinds of living. How can one resist the metrics of capitalist appropriation and control? Intensely aware of what subdues people into robotic routines of survival, Gurton-Wachter offers defiance: “I was worried about the authority one needs in order to smash an image and see if it holds another image inside,” she writes.
Reviewer's understanding of what all of these poems seem to coalesce into - to the reviewer these poems highlight the social constructs that the author vehemently opposes that suggests or implies the author's courage.
-
The poet converses intimately with artists past and present, whose bubbling impulses arrive in workshops and books, and the art beckoning in embodied spells, such as La Monte Young and Marian Zazaeela’s permanent sound installation Dream House.
Main idea of the book
-
Anna Gurton-Wachter’s debut poetry collection, Utopia Pipe Dream Memory, is a feminist affirmation of the multivocality of writing, the force of artistic communities, and the visionary as aesthetic principle.
Claim concerning what the book is by categorizing and affirming that with general details that link to that category.

Even here, in the literal moment of the poem, “roaming” might be called mild personification, which makes the point that the literal and figurative are not hard barriers, and poets often move about freely between them within a poem, and even within a line
Appreciate this point - I always say that these marks do not quite find themselves in one camp or the other depends and that it just seems that rules or concepts will not always contain what a writer decides to do in their writing/craft of story, and I suppose, poetry.

is immensely difficult and requires great precision of observation and language.
Usually I try to create the image by feeling and sometimes the words that I want to use are silly, but to me they make sense on an emotional level.

Ultimately, we might say that the close study of imagery is a way to escape, transcend, or recontextualize the self.
I can agree with this in the sense of like having your own snowball and rolling it in another person's snow found in there yard. We already have a sense of the image/object but the way in which it is arranged as well as what it is arranged with can bring out that "transcendent"element and by doing so find the image's meaning recontextualized for the reader.
-
images move us and move poems forward. They’re hard to define in isolation because they don’t sit still.
! - Thinking about how you need to see the image juxtaposed to the layered underbelly of the poem as well as the surface level ideas and images.
-
The mind of the poet acts as a filter, finding the most resonant, charged details to transmit the image to the reader.
Like this - but I wonder if this is true - I would suspect that there are many photographers/artists that filter their images like painters/artists.

toward contemplative writing pedagogies that view the body as a lived site of knowledge and not, primarily, as a discursive text
So, instead of compartmentalizing - understand that it all shares the same space.

But to achieve this end, I first must relax my habit of trying to control my body with my mind and, through awareness, learn to work with my physical body’s organic intelligence and to respect it as a site of knowledge.
Its all about the flow - Pretty sure the turtle in Finding Nemo said something like this.

Working at the intersections of present reality and future hope for change, the situated imagination shapes experience into knowledge by helping to con-struct meaning as well as to stretch it in new directions.
All of this situated imagination talk reminds me of Nathanial Hawthorne's "My Kinsman Major Molineux." I did some deep dive research when writing a paper and remembered a philosophic situation that is at the core of the story. It goes something like this: Say there is a blind man, who has no sight, is situated in front of a painting. On that painting is an apple of sorts. With that man not having ever seen an apple, he would not have any experiences to help shape the representation that it is an apple. To push it further, say you gave him sight, would he be able to determine the apple to be real or a visual representation - I think there was something about him not experiencing or knowing about either.

Awesome - I have always wanted to do a podcast as an assignment for students.

Determining who exactly is the audience should help focus the podcast
Good point! It should also give them some form of risk since the perceived audience has some value to the student.
