Lynn Emanuel's The Nerve Of It: Poems New and Selected (Pitt Poetry Series) PDF

By Lynn Emanuel

Winner of the 2016 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize from the Academy of yankee Poets

Emanuel’s model of a “new and chosen poems” turns conference on its head. She ignores chronology, putting new poems beside outdated, blending heart and early poems with contemporary paintings, and releasing all her poems from the restraints in their specific histories, either aesthetic and autobiographical. even if writing within the comedic drag of the comic strip strip, or investigating the Mobius strip dating among reader and author, or exposing the humor and damage that accompany visitations from Frank O’Hara and Gertrude Stein, The Nerve of It either stings and pleases with its intelligence, wit and vivacity. It breaks via, in ways in which are daring, attractive, haunting and wry, the die-hard competition of recent and outdated, own narrative and linguistic play, sincerity and irony, distress and hilarity. Open the booklet. whatever new is occurring here.
