Unsettled Accounts: Poems (Hollis Summers Poetry Prize),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
To take the mess of life and make meaning from it is what all poets seek to do. For Will Wells, recipient of the thirteenth annual Hollis Summers Poetry Prize, this includes reaching across centuries and continents, into the minds and hearts of disparate individualsAlbert Einstein, Andrea Yates, the traveler from Porlock, Dante, or Holocaust survivors, including his own grandmotherto extract the personal value embedded there for him.By turns funny, shocking, gentle, and musing, the poems of Unsettled Accounts reflect Will Wellss constant attention to his environment and to his pastand to our environment and our pastand his persistent effort to keep them real and whole by turning them into art.PingPong with the NazisBored couriers have kicked off boots and settheir pipes aside, a Dutch interior.The slapped ball clacks over the tablelike a telegraphic code, then trickleslike faint hope across the marble floor.How quickly he bends to retrieve itand puts it back in play, the Jewish boyliving with false papers in a villaowned by his mothers Gentile friends, and nowcommandeered by retreating Germansas divisional headquarters. The youngblond soldiers, deferential to a socialbetter, muss his blond locks like the kidbrothers back in the fatherland, like bigbrothers steeped in genial menace.He begs another game, so they relent.As the ball resumes its chatter acrossthe nomansland strung with a net,he calculates the risk that each shot brings.And so do they. He holds his pee and serves.
