4.0
The Rorschach Factory by Valerie Fox is a collection of poems that are left up to the interpretation of the reader in many cases. Much like the inkblot test, these poems provide snippets of color, image, and story to provide an outline for readers, and those readers are then tasked with filling in the blanks and interpreting what is there. Some poems seem to carry a personal history in many of the lines, while others are whimsical in their interpretations of pop culture and real-life relationships.
From “This Is Not My Cousin” (page 9):
This is not the sensational human
condition. God is not in the picture
just me and trees and my cousin’s shadow.
We like how I am standing on the high place
a smiling paperdoll propped up on the edge
about to step back, waving to Columbus.
