I am writing my feelings and thoughts about Lippman's new collection while they are still fresh, but when I don't have time to write a thorough review that does it justice. This is a mesmerizing (and sadly) beautiful book. These poems are the epitome of Lippman's big-hearted writing. I could imagine him with his big aching heart carried outside his body while he wrote these poems. Nobody creates FEELING from a poem like he does. Feelings of love and sadness are all intertwined here. You can't have love without sadness and you can't have sadness without love. Read this book, everyone! This is a book that can save us from our over-thinking and our despair. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"This is the "Age of the Bullet," Matthew Lippman writes in Mesmerizingly Sadly Beautiful, days in which "bullets sprout other bullets in the bullet garden" and a caricature of a onesie-wearing president sucking on a pacifier appears on the cover of a national magazine. Lippman's poems are wildly inventive yet grounded in the 21st century dailyness of parenting and dinner parties and Dunkin Donuts, all of which serve as launch pads into perennial questions of mercy and trust. "I don't care what you say about this city," Lippman writes in the title poem whose images recall New York City in the days following 9/11: "We sit down together on the sidewalk / and we hold one another." These are brash, beautiful poems, big-hearted in their tilt toward sentimentality and their yearning for something more, something better"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
