Description
Poetry. "IFLIFE presents some of the wittiest, politically prescient--and best--American poems of this new century. The scope of the collection is prodigious, from the war in Iraq to domestic life, from the state of literary theory to Greek myth, from Hegel and Freud to parents and babies. And guiding us through the torrent of cultural signs raining down on us as if with the wrath of God is one of the most reliable voices in recent poetry. Bob Perelman, who is sardonic and wise, makes the show more world more apprehendable, if not a better place, wiht each passing poem"--Charles Bernstein. Perelman has written 16 books poetry, many of which are also available from SPD. show lessTags
