 You can find manic invention, non-Euclidean dreamlike verbal spaces, acrobatic attempts to get around and above ordinary prose syntax, “secret arts acquired in cloven pine prisons,” in a double handful of exciting youngish poets. And you can find in an equal number some wry observations on modern urban life. It’s harder—and better—to find those virtues together, to find both the conjuring spirit’s vigor and the realist trickster’s charm. Awards
"A fine-grained light like that of a nineteenth-century Danish landscape painting shimmers throughout these gorgeously tactile and tactful poems."--John Ashbery "A heady heady brew--O'Hara conversation, Ashbery sophistication, Koch hilarity, Schuyler shapeliness, Guest adventures, Notley grain, Mayer utopia, Padgett whimsy, Oulipo oofs."--Bob Holman, National Poetry Series judge Mlinko was hailed byPublishers Weekly as "one of the most exciting American poets under 40." HerStarred Wire reaches across continents of language where, as in Borges, dream logic dictates an interactive, delirious exploration of art and childhood, place and possibility.
