Throughout \u003ci\u003eTwo and Two\u003c\/i\u003e, doubles abound: Noah's animals; Duhamel's parents as Jack and Jill in a near-fatal accident; an incestuous double sestina; a male\/female pantoum; a dream and its interpretation; and translations of advertisements from English to Spanish. In two Möbius strip poems (shaped like the Twin Towers), Duhamel invites her readers to get out their scissors and tape and transform her poems into 3-D objects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the book's center is \"Love Which Took Its Symmetry for Granted,\" a gathering of journal entries, personal e-mails, and news reports into a collage of witness about September 11. A section of \"\u003ci\u003eMille et un sentiments\u003c\/i\u003e,\" modeled on the lists of Hervé Le Tellier, Georges Perec, and George Brainard, breaks down emotions to their most basic levels, their 1,001 tiny recognitions. The book ends with \"Carbó Frescos,\" written in the form of an art guidebook from the 24th century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInnovative and unpretentious, Duhamel uses twice the language usually available for poetry. She culls from the literary and nonliterary, from the Bible and product warning labels, from Woody Allen films and Hong Kong action movies--to say difficult things with astonishing accuracy. \u003ci\u003eTwo and Two\u003c\/i\u003e is second to none.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDenise Duhamel's\u003c\/b\u003e previous books include \u003ci\u003eQueen for a Day: Selected and New Poems\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMille et un sentiments\u003c\/i\u003e, a limited edition book.
