04.19: David Biespiel
2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
Every month over a period of 10 years, poet and critic David Biespiel published a brief, dazzling essay on poetry in the Oregonian in what became the longest-running newspaper column on poetry in the U.S. Collected here for the first time, these popular essays, many of which have been revised and expanded, offer a fresh and refreshing approach to the reading and writing of poetry. With passion, wit, and common sense, they articulate a profound and entertaining statement about the mysteries of poetry and about poetry's essential role in our civic and cultural lives. A Long High Whistle (Antilever Press) discusses the work of nearly 100 poets from ancient times to the present.

Tamblyn is deeply fascinated — and intimately familiar — with the toll exacted on young women whose lives are offered in sacrifice as starlets. Dark Sparkler is a surprising and provocative work from a young artist of wide-ranging talent, culminating in an extended, confessional epilogue of astonishing candor and poetic command.
