Winner of the 2001 Fence Modern Poets Series Prize, selected by Allen Grossman. With the persistent, dappled vision of an ecstatic pragmatist, Joyelle McSweeney sees things as they are through "the modern knothole." Eventuality, delicately shaded by the fine and fearless intelligence of these kinesthetic arrangements, coincides with imaginative possibility; the resulting poems are as much mind as place.
Editorial : From Publishers Weekly In describing, in turn, a "Toy House," "Toy Bed" "Toy Enterprise," "Toy Election," "Toy Maternity," and nine separate accounts of "The Voyage of the Beagle," one might think Joyelle McSweeney lacks high seriousness in The Red Bird, selected by Alan Grossman for Fence Books. While certainly playful and relentlessly up to date (check the "Celebrity Cribs" poem), McSweeney's is a satirist's sensibility, wickedly sending up, in "Avian light," the identities and settings her speaker encounters, whether in books, "a maritime chart of the Yensai Delta" or "Afterlives": "Forsythia opens its bright palm and the woman pushes her stroller out of it."Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
In this book, Halberstam advocates for a queer failure that defies capitalist models of success. Given everything I've read about this book I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality and veracity of the narrative. It was a good guide for me and I trust that you will find it as interesting as I have found it.. The center will be fully baked by the time they cool. I highly recommend this entertaining glimpse into a remarkable life.
by William Potter for Reader's Choice Literary Reviews. There is absolutely no fluff or BS in this book, every single time you turn the page you learn something new and interesting. The author draws similarly vivid portraits of a number of well known stories--Lazarus and the Rich Man, the Judge and the Widow, the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and others.
I read this book in Kindle format and discovered a number of errors in the formatting--such as words frequently run together instead of separated. In the twenty years that I have worked
