The Optimist: Poems (Hollis Summers Poetry Prize),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In Joshua Mehigans awardwinning poetry, one encounters a lucid, resolute vision driven by an amazing facility with the metrical line. Most of the poems in The Optimist unapologetically employ traditional poetic technique, and, in each of these, Mehigan stretches the fabric of living language over a framework of regular meter to produce a compelling sonic counterpoint.The Optimist stares at contemporary darkness visible, a darkly lit tableau that erases the boundary between the world and the perceiving self. Whether narrative or lyric, dramatic or satirical, Mehigans poems explore death, desire, and change with a mixture of reason and compassion.In choosing The Optimist for the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize, final judge James Cummins, wrote:The world is given its due in these poems, but its due is the subjective voice making objective reality into the reality of art. To do this Mehigan accesses a tradition of voicesthe echoes in The Optimist are, to name a few, of Frost, Robinson, Kees, and Justice; and more in terms of point of view, Bishop and Jarrellto form with great integrity his own. It isnt that Mehigan is concerned more with whats outside himself than inside; nor merely that he travels the highway between the two with such humility and grace. Its also that these voices, this great tradition, infuses his line with what the best verse, metrical or free, must have: wonder.
