Dead Cars in Managua (Punchy Poetry) (Punchy Poetry)
by Stuart Ross
On This Page
Description
Stuart Ross's sixth poetry collection is both an experimental departure for Ross and an offering of some of his most accurate surrealistic observations to date. Gathering into one volume three discrete poetry projects -- an absurdist Baedeker of image-driven prose poems about Managua accompanied by his original photos of decomposing cars, a formally various sequence of personal, narrative poems about the claustrophobic spaces and amorphous moods of hospitals, and a selection of cubist and show more abstract poems where Ross shows his experimental New York School cards like never before -- all of the poems in this book are touched by Ross's unique ability to dissolve our common-sense understanding of the world, and then distill a more potent truth from the remains of sense and reason. show lessTags

Stuart Ross is known as the author of soma of Canada's most audacious poetry. Long celebrated for his absurdist narratives and gut-punch humour, in A Sparrow Came Down Resplendent Ross confronts more intimate subject matter - investigating the often complex bat always powerful connections between loved ones. Surreally punctuated portraits of show more family members, childhood friends, heroes, mentors - and even himself - are rendered with arresting care. From the cemetery to the playground, and from the punk club to the synagogue, Ross takes his readers on adventures both wild and tender. show less
