Mean (Phoenix Poets),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In the appropriately titled Mean, Colette LaBouff Atkinsons speakers confront a series of cruel lovers, estranged exhusbands and exexwives, neglectful parents, disrespectful children, menacing drunks, wouldbe rapists, wellmeaning but ineffectual teachers, and that annoying kid in first grade who wouldnt leave you alone. Managing to say what most of us would only think but never dare speak out loud, this stunning debut collection reveals that the horrors and cruelty we experience in everyday life can turn out to be very real indeed. But Atkinson does not merely rake her subjects across the coals: she deftly exposes, instead, how the world mirrors back to us our own meanness, lending it a truth and a history. In fortythree deadpan, often merciless prose poems that are masterpieces of the form, Mean lays bare the darkness within the narrators heart as well as in ours."Colette Labouff Atkinsons artful laconicism attains the force of a shout, without ever raising its voice. The intelligent, merciless narrative cool arrays a sad comedy, with an unemphatic but penetrating 'and then . . . and then': accounts of love pursued far more often than it is glimpsed or realized."Robert Pinsky
