Here"s wildness and art, in right proportion: the wildness is surprise without swagger.
The art is graceful and mostly disappearing, and otherwise a little extravagant. As in the case of jugglery (another of Joanie Mackowski"s mastered arts), loopiness is nothing without the catch.
Dropped clubs, flat cakes, flat notes--where but in poetry is a native gift for clumsiness, sedulously conserved, so praised?.
