Taking its title from the cult horror movie classic, Jonathan Aaron's third book,Journey to the Lost City, is a work of sharp wit, irony, and disarming tenderness. Cool, metaphysically quizzical, almost Eastern-European in sensibility, Aaron's poems are a far cry from the dull, personal anecdotal quality that infects so much contemporary poetry. Savvy, intelligent, personal yet reserved, they take us on imaginative forays into a world where time swirls the past into the present, juxtaposing historical persons and places with the here and now. This allows the poet to speak with a weird authority that's both wholly American and timeless, intimate yet without the intrusion of a confiding individual self. Aaron is a poet whose work is well known and admired by poets but has not yet reached the larger audience it deserves, though his poems have appeared numerous times inBest American Poetry and his second book,Second Sight, was a National Poetry Series winner. He is a frequent contributor toThe New York Review of Books,The Times Literary Supplement, and theLondon Review of Books, as well as theBoston Globe, and has taught for many years at Emerson College.Journey to the Lost City is his first book since 1992. It has been eagerly awaited by his fans, and will introduce new readers to a poet of great range and stature. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
