I read this for a class and found Cooper's poetic style to be really inspiring to me. This probably, mostly, because it seems a lot like my own, although more honed; the way he deals with subjects, de familiarizing them, is something I would like to incorporate into my own voice. ( ) This is a book of short pieces of different types. Many of them are prose poems not totally unlike the Charles Baudelaire book I’m leisurely making my way through. I didn’t love a lot of these. I thought the stories where he talks about his family were much better, still having his interesting style, but with more feeling and seeming more solid, where some of the other pieces seemed sort of forced and self consciously "artsy".

The essays in Maps to Anywhere plot terrain that is at once familiar and subtly strange. Writing on subjects ranging from his family to the origin of the barbershop pole, Bernard Cooper digs into the glimmering surface of the southern California landscape, observing the collision of the American Dream with the realities of everyday life. From the fragments, he discovers landmarks by which he attempts to make sense of contemporary America. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
