A wonderful collection that never bores and always excites the reader with its wide variety of subject material and style of presentation. Some are biographical, some observational and some experimental in approach. All are blessed with Keene's unique perspective of being a black gay artist in modern America. I can see why the book received all its well deserved plaudits and praise. A great poet at the top of his game. ( ) This collection is not themed, but it does show the range of Keene's work. The sections of the book are themed--in content or form. And his form varies widely within the book. Some poems are paragraphs, others look like stereotypical poems on the page, others play with form and text and white space. Topics vary widely--lgtb relationships and issues, baseball, music, places, poetry. My favorite thing about this collection is its accessibility. Most of these poems are not conversation with other poets. These poems can largely be understood by the average non-academic poetry reader (me). Manzanita was my favorite section, probably because of the historical references and settings. I also really liked the poem Words in the section also titled Words. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"A landmark collection of poetry by acclaimed fiction writer, translator, and MacArthur Fellow John Keene, Punks: New & Selected Poems is a generous treasury in seven sections that spans decades and includes previously unpublished and brand new work. With depth and breadth, Punks weaves together historic narratives of loss, lust, and love. The many voices that emerge in these poems--from historic Black personalities, both familial and famous, to the poet's friends and lovers in gay bars and bedrooms--form a cast of characters capable of addressing desire, oppression, AIDS, and grief through sorrowful songs that "we sing as hard as we live." At home in countless poetic forms, Punks reconfirms John Keene as one of the most important voices in contemporary poetry."--Publisher's webpage. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
