| Summary |
I've never read anything like this: part fiction, part chronicle, a book length poem-the narrator's voice that of a generation "in search of a form that might give it meaning." These astounding poems gain their momentum from an accumulation of unresolved images from his childhood, the denied past and the wars of his youth (WW2, the Cold War, Vietnam)--all this a prelude to what's coming, the relentless, violent betrayals and lies of a society and government that changed us permanently into "adults," disconnected from what we once wanted and thought and believed. Bohm's stunning language and brilliant poetics are a match for this vision. The impetus here is nothing less than to be a midwife of this necessary birth. This is a guide to a whole new way to write.--Sharon Doubiago, author of Hard Country, Love on the Streets, My Father's Love. |
