Elegies & Vacations: Salt Modern Poets

Autor Hank Lazer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – mar 2004 – vârsta de la 13 până la 21 ani
A unique collection of eleven poems, each quite different from the next, Elegies & Vacations explores the relationships of the living and the dead. Lazer's poems have an unusual emotional intimacy as he tests the ability of an experimental poetry to address emotionally charged subjects such as the loss of a loved one and the vexing ritual of the family vacation.

Recenzii

A sensitivity to "Perspective": this is the quality we find most tellingly in "3 of 10". Lazer's is a bravura performance that makes us look forward to his future "displayspaces." -- Marjorie Perloff The Virginia Quarterly Review "Elegies and Vacations" is an extended and complex meditation on progenitors--poetic, familial, and otherwise. It continues the project Lazer began in Doublespace by attempting to fill in, or traverse again, the space between its two halves, which can be fairly said to represent the poles of contemporary American poetry. "Elegies and Vacations", far from a miscellany, is a comprehensive examination by a poet who has explored the breadth of contemporary poetics as fully as anyone writing in English today. -- Bill Lavender Big Bridge Known for his acute criticism as well as exploratory poetry, Hank Lazer is a poet who might be described as a stylistic risk-taker as well as forager in the treasure house of words. … Thus, for all the play of these poems, what draws me the most to "Days" is the near-spiritual urgency and ethical integrity of Lazer's poetic inquiry. -- Cynthia Hogue Rain Taxi Lazer blends the purposes of poetry and the ISMs of various camps and forges a series of poems that is both fun to read with the heart and with the mind. This is no easy exercise in these days of thick lines between the many classes of poetry. -- Michael Basinski Poetry/Rare Books Collection, SUNY-Buffalo "There are many things to do in music" says John Coltrane, one of the presiding spirits of Lazer's most recent book of poems. "Days" is charged with this sense of possibilities, a passionate commitment to play. … The happiness so evident in this poetry is grounded in an awareness of this "appalling age." -- Geraldine McKenzie Jacket Hank Lazer stands out among experimental poets for his refusal to cross the line where innovation becomes orthodoxy… Lazer is a self-healing metaphysician of presence whose utterance stems from his own particular and unpermanent flesh -- Joshua Corey
