Title
Because the Brain Can Be Talked into Anything: Poems,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In selecting this dazzling first collection of poems as winner of the 1994 Walt Whitman Award, Robert Pinsky praised Jan Richman for the 'rowdy, restless intelligence' of her work. Indeed, all of the poems in Because the Brain Can Be Talked Into Anything are the result of a compulsive, unflinching inquisitiveness a desire to make some sense of modern life by scrutinizing the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in our world.Ultimately, among the surprising turns of language, the hard edges and twisted aphorisms of an outspoken narrator, the sense of personal history reemerges as haunting and essential. The book offers no formula for selfknowledge; it winnows and rummages and, finally, finds truth in irony. This satiric/sincere dualism comes brilliantly through in 'Why I'm the Boss'.As in all Richman's poems, the wisecracking, urbanhip tone gives way to an extremely personal world view, and the raw emotional underpinnings are finally revealed. These poems announce a fresh and powerful new voice.
