Lindsay Illich's Fingerspell is not only a book of elegy, motherhood, and eros; it's also a book of astonishing, idiosyncratic seeing- in which knee caps are like " stone fruit," the city of Washington DC represents " the remains of an idea," grief is an accumulation of snow " into which/the heart sinks," the act of waiting " a splint//my body's wrapped against," and the sound of a running vacuum is evidence of love.
