O knihe

Einstein spoke dismissively of "spooky action at distance," the idea that separate objects could somehow share a simultaneous condition across space and time, or what is sometimes referred to as quantum entanglement. Yet the phrase persists and serves as a powerful metaphor for the work poetry does. In John Mulrooney's amazing new book, lyric performs this entanglement, bridging distant states of mind and registers of experience with a swiftness and a surprise that is indeed spooky. ... The suffering and loss of this world haunts these poems with an elemental pathos, the power of a fading logos written in the language of ghosts who still speak out of the dark in a human voice. -Patrick Pritchett SAMPLE POEM: Poem After Solstice for John Wieners A storm is a rhetorical device, a retrieval of lost syllables, rain foils the foliage to be and it's got something up my sleeve. The year I was born a god sauntered down the boardwalk on Revere Beach and stole your girl with his stare. I retained nothing I stared at that year or the next although it's likely most of what I did was stare; an impregnable embrace of the world that those around me probably called wonder. The first propriety squandered.
