In Imperial, George Bilgeres sixth collection of poetry, he continues his exploration of the beauties, mysteries, and absurdities of being middleaged and middleclass in midAmerica. In poems that range from the Cold War anxieties of the 1950s to the perils and predicaments of an aging Boomer in a post9/11 world, Bilgeres rueful humor and slippery syntax become a trapdoor that at any moment can plunge the reader into the abyss. In Bilgeres world a yoyo morphs into an emblem for the atomic bomb. A spot of cancer flames into the Vietnam War. And the death of a baseball player reminds us, in this age of disbelief, of the importancethe necessityof myth.
