My sister's teacher, so I might be a bit biased. ( ) Yes, I know Hongo is talented. Yes, I know I'm breaking the "literary canon" law when I say I'm rarely impressed and that he frankly bores the shit out of me. That said, I do admire his craft, and I met him at a reading on tour supporting this book, I believe, and definitely a nice guy, so I do have many friends and acquaintances who write stuff that's not really my thing (Ron Rash comes to mind) but I can still respect their craft, and besides, I doubt they like my stuff anyway. LOL! Cautiously recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Premi e riconoscimenti
The River of Heaven was awarded the 1987 Lamont Poetry Prize of the Academy of American Poets for a distinguished second book of poems (judges: Philip Booth, Alfred Corn, Mary Oliver). In it Garrett Hongo has drawn from his unusual background (born in Volcano, Hawaii, of Japanese ancestry, and educated in California at Pomona) to provide the materials for poems that would be highly exotic were they not infused with a level-headed sense of realism and a strong feeling that mundane realities are perfectly natural material for the poetry of our time. Here, Garrett Hongo transforms his mundane realities into elegant poetry. The volcanoes of Hawaii, the gritty urban streets of Los Angeles, a California beach after the death of his father--the places of Garrett Hongo's past metamorphose into a poetry that is compelling and immediate.
