Disclamor
Posted in Annotated Bibliography on January 20, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Disclamor by G.C. Waldrep My rating: 4 of 5 stars So Disclamor is a weird book, and I have to say my least favorite of Waldrep’s three full-length works, but let me also say that it is the book one who has yet to come to Waldrep should read first. I’ll caveat, too, that I’ve [...]

Dean Young’s string-of-similes blurb, “this book astonishes me the way I am astonished by jeweled clockworks, siege machinery, the musculature [...]

Selected Early Poems, Charles Simic; George Braziller, New York: 1999 Covers “What the Grass Says” (1967) to “Pyramids and Sphinxes” (1979). Simic comes across as pretty consistent, with his hallmark tight poems, easy, not too pushy surrealism, with some notable and equally consistent departures with poems like “The Tomb of Stephane Mallarme” or “Furniture Mover,” [...]
