Donald Revell’s spectacular new-and-selected amounts to three very good poetry books for the price of one—the first by a dejected urbanite who thinks he’s watching America, and his own private life, slowly collapse; one by a maker of puzzles, mazes, and spells; and one by an open-hearted, charitable, mystically inclined father, husband, and Christian believer who cherishes southern Nevada.

"Revell is a writer of singular talent and ambition . . . he takes the reader to unfamiliar and strange places and, in the process, he creates some of the most beautiful poetry in our language."--Harvard Review For over 20 years, Donald Revell has used the pastoral as a tool of protest/revolution against violence and war and as a guide to peace, arguing for personal, natural and political growth in precise, delicate lyrics.Pennyweight Windows: New and Selected Poems includes a powerful new group of poems and much of the finest work from Revell's eight previous collections. Strong political and antiwar themes make this collection highly relevant to today's most important cultural and political debates. FromThe Pennyweight Woods I ran into the woods to find the red house. But what is the use of a house without A planet to put it on? I mean, without Peace? Until the armies disperse, It is better to cook my food with broken glass Than with fire. The black & white cinema wants to know Where have they taken our Lord? The beetle asks the flowers at Beauvoir, Where? Change is change. Here is my eye when I was a baby. It is clean for you now And for the rest of the family Helping the sunshine over there. Poet, translator and criticDonald Revell is the author of eight previous collections of poetry. Two-time winner of the PEN Center USA Award in poetry, Revell has also been awarded the Gertrude Stein Award, the Shestack Prize, a Pushcart Prize and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ingram Merrill Foundation and the Guggenheim Foundation. Currently, he is a professor of English at the University of Utah, poetry editor of theColorado Review and a columnist forAmerican Poetry Review. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
