Poetry. Art. Experimental Memoir. YOUNG TAMBLING resonates with Greenstreet's relentless exploration of what it means to be human, to need to feel, to make art. Memory, in this book of "experimental memoir," works something like the narrative tactics of a traditional ballad—"alternate leaping and lingering," in one formulation. Greenstreet does not dabble in teleological platitudes: the lives crosscutting these poems are not singular but plural and sublime, full of sacrifice and empathy for the lost. In YOUNG TAMBLING, a life's meaning is born of its poet's song, and a memory cannot reveal its truth until it finds its ballad. "For her fine, homemade metaphysics, smartly deadpan cosmology, and redemptive, lyrical humanity, Greenstreet is strictly essential reading." —Scott Wilkerson No library descriptions found. |

Everything sort of meshed together, narrative which started on one page didn't continue until much further. The very first section of the collection and even front cover reminded me of the poem "Traveling through the dark" by William E. Stafford. It's about having to choose the death of one to save hundreds and the connection between nature and industrialization.
In the end, this book made me think. And i liked it! ( )
