This particular book has a nice selection of poems, but it also contains a well constructed essay at the end called "Against Decoration." This essay was the highlight of the book for me because Karr explains why she doesn't like this style of writing and builds a strong case. The book is worth reading just for the essay and is something that I think many new writers should read as they develop their own styles and voices.

Now that gift returns to its origins in poetry. Viper Rum delves into the autobiographical subject matter of her two early collections (The Devil's Tour, New Directions, 1994, and Abacus, Wesleyan, 1987). Various beloveds are birthed and buried in these touching lyrics, some of which -- as the title suggests -- deal with drink: I cast back to those last years/I drank, alone nights at the kitchen sink, /bathrobed, my head hatching snakes, / while nay baby slept in his upstairs cage/and my marriage choked to death.... Exact and surprising, her poems take on the bedevilments of fate and grief with a diabolical edge of their own (Poetry). The prize-winning essay Against Decoration, which first set off a controversy in Parnassus, serves as an Afterword. In it, Karr attacks the popular toward ornament in contemporary poetry: the highbrow doily-making that for art today. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
