Poetry Review: “One Lark, One Horse” — Michael Hofmann’s Comic Skepticism

Michael Hofmann nicely captures our age of truthiness and alternate facts and multiple perspectives, the hollowness of everything from the news-cycle to pop-up restaurants, all of the distractions driven by money and advertising.

Poetry Review: “Come Closer and Listen” — Is Brusque and Amusing Enough?

In his new book, poet Charles Simic employs his customary strategies, but he seldom achieves the intensity he once did.

Poetry Review: “Frozen Charlotte” — Plenty of Pleasure

In Frozen Charlotte, Susan de Sola provides readers with enough aesthetic pleasure and thoughtful commentary about today’s world to remind us of just how good — and necessary — poetry can be.

Poetry Commentary: Lawrence Ferlinghetti Turns 100 — The Beats Go On

The Beats came before the ’60s, the decade of civil rights protests, women’s rights, the anti-war movement, and the civil strife that included riots and assassinations.

Book Review: “America: The Farewell Tour” — Has Our Ship Already Sailed?

America: The Farewell Tour and American Pyschosis are well worth taking to heart — both to provide provocative perspective on what is happening and to spur us into action.

Book Review: “The Mars Room” — Women Behind Bars

The strength of The Mars Room is its compelling vision of the stultifying and claustrophobic underworld of women in prison.

Poetry Review: The Devolution of Eileen Myles

One of the fears of poets and, I imagine, all writers, is that you’ll reach a certain age and you’ll run out of gas.

Poetry Review: A.E. Stallings’ “Like” — Good and Clever

Despite its occasional confusions, this is poetry I will return to — to re-experience A.E. Stallings’ wit, wisdom, and word-smithing.

By: Ed Meek Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review Tagged: "Like", A.E. Stallings, Ed Meek, Poetry

Poetry Review: “Not Elegy, But Eros” — A Skilled New Voice

Nausheen Eusuf’s deep affection for language and sound is omnipresent.
