No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
What will we call the last generation before the looming end times? With Finalists Rae Armantrout suggests one option. Brilliant and irascible, playful and intense, Armantrout nails the current moment's debris fields and super computers, its sizzling malaise and confusion, with an exemplary immensity of heart and a boundless capacity for humor. The poems in this book find (and create) beauty in midst of the ongoing crisis.
CONTRAST
What's to like
if not contrast?
Shadows beneath
the model's sharp
cheekbones, her ample
yet precise lips.
Clean lines separating
bounty
from its opposite.
This is not
what I want
to want.
These eyes
on the hypothetical
distance.
