The House Of Blue Light: Poems (Southern Messenger Poets),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The House of Blue Light is the second collection of autobiographical memory poems by Catholicschoolboygonebadturnedpoetmadegood David Kirby, a standup comic of verse if ever there was one: in Stardust Memories . . . these wise space aliens who visit Earth . . . tell [Woody Allen] that if he really wants to serve humanity, / he should tell funnier jokeswait, thats my duty, / I think, thats my public duty! Because sooner or later, / we all turn upside down.Wearing both heart and wit on his sleeve, Kirby con?des in longish narrative poems events he actually or vicariously experiencedas a child, a teen, a young man, and nowas well as some future scenes he imagines. Literary theorists Jacques Derrida and Roland Barthes; Little Richard and Muhammad Ali; Herman Melville, James Dickey, and Henry James; friends, family, personal heroes, and acquaintances, including the Ah Oui Girl of Paris and Tige Watleys Whoah of Baton Rouge, are all equally alive in Kirbys poems.As Walt Whitman did, Kirby offers a firstperson speaker as a proxy for everyone else (Who, including ourselves, / knows what we know and when we know it?), achieving a unity and accessible authenticity rare in poetry. A fun house, a mishmash for sure, The House of Blue Light is a delightfully entertaining, irreverent, erudite collection of commentary piling upon commentary that brings us that one element so largely absent / from our quotidian existence, i.e., surprise.
