Six Small Fires
by Paul Jenkins
ISBN: 1-884800-33-5 |
Praise for Radio Tooth Jenkins' resolutions and truces are indomitably surreal; these poems—on geography, genetics, faith, and loss—are jokes and non-jokes at once, dazzlingly off, yet pure reportage . . . a wild inventiveness proves out a weird, heightened hope. —The New Yorker These energetic poems halt and plunge forward in associative bytes, facilitated by their lack of punctuation and Jenkins' terrific personal prosody, a style of phrasing which is both irregular and rhythmic. —Tony Hoagland, Puerto del Sol His revolutions on the "treadmill of sad-ness and consolation" produce luminous, resonant lyrics. —Brian Henry, Harvard Review |
