“Kim Addonizio’s voice lifts from the page, alive and biting—unleashing wit with a ruthless observation.”—San Francisco Book Review

Passionate and irreverent, Mortal Trash transports the readers into a world of wit, lament, and desire. In a section called “Over the Bright and Darkened Lands,” canonical poems are torqued into new shapes. “Except Thou Ravish Me,” reimagines John Donne’s famous “Batter my heart, Three-person’d God” as told from the perspective of a victim of domestic violence. Like Pablo Neruda, Addonizio hears “a swarm of objects that call without being answered”: hospital crash carts, lawn gnomes, Evian bottles, wind-up Christmas creches, edible panties, cracked mirrors. Whether comic, elegiac, or ironic, the poems in Mortal Trash remind us of the beauty and absurdity of our time on earth.

From “Scrapbook”:
We believe in the one-ton rose
and the displaced toilet equally. Our blues
assume you understand
not much, and try to be alive, just as we do,
and that it may be helpful to hold the hand
of someone as lost as you.

Citater

  • Дмитрий Веснинhar citeretfor 5 år siden
    In an airport

    you can eat with a metal fork

    but the knife must be made of extruded polymers

    to keep you from committing hara-kiri

    as you return from delivering your lecture

    on postmodern literary theory.
  • Menna Abu Zahrahar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Addonizio relishes bringing together moments of pleasure and pain, love and disaster.”

    —American Poet
  • Menna Abu Zahrahar citeretfor 3 år siden
    Addonizio is a master of compressed intensity who always nails the emotional image.”

    —San Francisco Chronicle
