Description:
Even in a state of geometrical grace we cannot see time as it is, only as it passes. So the river shows us while softly disfiguring our waterlogged bodies on the way to vast projects of war.—Rosmarie Waldrop Driven to Abstraction is Rosmarie Waldrop's sixth collection of poetry with New Directions. The first of its two sections, "Sway-Backed Powerlines," consists of five sequences of prose poems whose subject matter ranges from voyages of discovery and the second Iraq war to geometry, memory, and the music of John Cage. Part two, the title sequence, investigates the tendency to abstraction in our lives which, in the West, began with the Renaissance introduction of zero into arithmetic, the vanishing point into perspective, and imaginary money in economics. Driven by the tension between abstraction and the concrete, and written in the shadow of ongoing wars, these poems are among Waldrop's most engaging and thrilling works to date, the writing of a master poet at the height of her creative powers.

Fantastic, stylish, and easy shoes!

My daughter LOVES these and wears them daily. She says they're really comfy and they slip on easily. They've held up for several months of daily wear so far and are still going strong!

Awesome shoes!
Size: 4 Big Kid, Color: Aqua/Multi
My daughter is SUPER picky about shoes and loves these. They are easy and quick to put on, run true to size, and most important COMFORTABLE. She is outgrowing them and will have to get her the next size up. Highly recommend for picky kids

Great for busy feet
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Hot Pink/Multi, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Hot Pink/Multi
My five-year-old daughter loves these Skechers slip-ins—and she is not easy on her shoes! You can see in the photo, she’s already put plenty of miles on them. They’ve been through the washing machine at least twice and still look great—the bright colors are a big hit with her and they hold up well in the wash.
One of the elastic bands on top did come loose, but I was able to fix it quickly with a dab of superglue. She slips them on and off all by herself, which is perfect as we’re still learning to tie laces. All in all, a great purchase for the price—especially since kids grow so fast and put their shoes through a lot!
