The Sleep That Changed Everything (Wesleyan Poetry Series),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Playful, sexy poems illuminate a rich multiplicity of experiences. From Publishers Weekly "Everything seems real decadent as the decade rolls up," writes Brown in this enormous, hugehearted second collection, and it seems truer than ever as the new decade rolls further out. Brown's debut, Polyverse, made a joyful, polyphonic noise in 1999, and this Sleep, collecting more than five years of work, is less somnolent than restorative and wonderfully wakeful. Brown's poems were a feature of the hugely distributed dELiA's freebie book How 2 Write Love Poems that Don't Suck, and she amply makes good on that book's promise here. "Insufflation" finds her speaker "Setting myself up to be toughened/ a spectrum of hair/ Unanthologized Beat/ spun out into/ reading," while the book's central series, "The Voluptuary Lion Poems of Spring," teases that "my poetry/ Risks gushing kisses so I close my song,/ Anticipating our playing alone." While poems like the evilchanneling "Ballad of Susan Smith" ("Black Man, Black Man, I accuse you") show Brown reviving a turbulent genre to terrific effect, the sheer number of joyous allusions, invocations and dedications herealong with sections of "Estivation," "Devastation" and "Vibratory Odes"make this a book a primer of democratic loving, working to "Make a new life/ For those around us fully/ and for those/ To come// To come/ To."Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.
