August Kleinzahler has been writing poetry for a long time, and he keeps getting better. This volume is a retrospective of sorts, but includes much new work as well. How to describe Kleinzahler? He has his roots in Beat poetry, but he's gone far beyond such influences. His writing always feels fresh, original, inventive, and unexpected, thoroughly American in sensibility but international in scope. Highly recommended.
Ik dacht bij het lezen eerst 'nee', maar het groeit in je terwijl je leest. Niet zo simpel Engels weliswaar.
Sterke accenten, vreemde registers, conventioneel van uitwerking, origineel van aanpak.
Buitenbeentje, maar toch niet echt zo erg extravagant of zoiets.
