Overview
Often, when speaking of what he has called theĀ poetic operation of language, Scott Cairns has characterized that event as our āglimpsing an indeterminate, inexhaustible enormity within a discrete space.ā This is the poetās continuing fascination withĀ lacunae, those spaces, those openings that offer moreĀ withinĀ than appearances can register from outside the ostensible covert of their terms. Cairns is here focused upon how an image, a word, orāin the case of the Theotokosāa wombĀ can contain the uncontainable. As Orthodox hymnography avers, she is more spacious than the heavens. So, too, the poet suggests, in its own, modest way, the poem might give birth to more, and more, and yet more than even the poet supposes.
