With subtle twists of language and striking images, this collection is one to slip into and reread. The first and last sections of the book (about half the whole work all together) are undoubtedly the strongest, at least for my taste, since some of the middle poems verge more on "language poetry" where meaning is far more subjective than at other points in the work. Lim's voice makes the whole work, though, gliding and pleasant, even in shocking moments. Variety in style and tone push the work along as well, and in the end, I think readers might be better for reading this in a few long sittings, as opposed to sampling a poem occasionally. This isn't easily accessible poetry at many points, but it is an exploration, and well worth the time for poetry readers. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Poetry. "LOVELIEST GROTESQUE is a darkly fascinating book. It's a sweet, shape-shifting creature and a fun postmodern romp. Page after page fills with energetic surprises, keeping the reader intrigued—formal quatrains juxtaposed against prose vignettes... short-line riffs against skinny sonnets against a ballad that spreads across the page against a pantoum with the word "orient" in it. Finally, the slippery slope of too much fun might stop for a nano moment to contemplate an important existential question: "Why were there manatees at all?" Obviously, the answer is this: after 9/11, in the new millennium, all formal discourses must explode, splinter and fragment and coalesce again into a stunning, new voice."—Marilyn Chin No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
