Komas uit ʼn bamboesstok (1979) is geskryf na ʼn ernstige lewersiekte en werk met ʼn hele aantal bekende temas van vroeër, maar deur die besondere verbinding wat bulle met mekaar aangaan, verskyn hulle dikwels in ʼn verrassend-nuwe gedaante. Die motiewe van aftakeling en siekte, beperktheid van menslike lewe en besit, word hier dikwels op ʼn geestige wyse met die gebruik van satire, hekeling, selfspot en ironie aangebied. – J C Kannemeyer

Kuns-mis (1964) is ʼn versameling “oorskietverse” wat “die kuns mis”, maar terselfdertyd bemesting is vir latere werk. Dit bevat gedigte wat satiries of hekelend kommentaar lewer op literêre en ander aktualiteite en waarin dikwels gebruik gemaak word van woordspelings, teleskoperings van verskillende woorde in mekaar, dubbelsinnighede en besondere tipografiese rangskikkings. – J C Kannemeyer

Dolosse is ʼn losser versameling verse, al is die “dolos”-motief in die betekenis van beskawingsreste of simbole van ʼn verlede en voortekens van ʼn dikwels somber en uitsiglose toekoms ʼn dominerende faktor in die bundel. Die verse het dikwels Europese reisindrukke of die wêreld van Franskraal as agtergrond, maar die basiese problematiek word gekonsentreer op die noodlotsgang van die Afrikanervolk, die ganse Westerse beskawing en die mens in sy aftakeling. – J C Kannemeyer

Edms. Bpk. (1970), dui op die beperktheid van die menslike lewe en besit en die kleiner wêreld van die bundel, dikwels die vertroude terrein van Franskraal. Alhoewel die verse meestal die magtige greep en groot konstruksies van vroeër mis, is die bundel tog as ʼn duidelike eenheid gekonsipieer. – J C Kannemeyer

<P>"When history proves useless and consensus chimerical," Donald Revell has written, «the poet's necessity is invention, and this does a lot to explain our century's preference for revision over mimesis.» For Revell, The disruptions of this century have destroyed old illusions of historical continuity: «The consolations of history are furtive,/ then fugitive, then forgotten.» Invoking such contemporary events as the collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War, he...

<P>The world that Donald Revell ponders in these poems replete with contrarieties. The same verbal playfulness and prophetic lyricism that made Revell a 1992 Guggenheim Fellow in Poetry and a winner of National Poetry Series, Pushcart, and PEN Center USA West awards are in full force in Beautiful Shirt. Here he traverses the rocky terrain of innocence, memory, disillusion, and salvation in a voice at once haunted and elliptical: «This is the world as I have known it./ It has a soft...

<P>Believing and espousing an American tradition alive in the testimony of Anne Hutchinson, in the prose-poetry of Thoreau, and in the music of Ives, Donald Revell's new poems seek moments of harmony between language and silence. The death of the poet's father and almost concurrent birth of his son form the emotional underpinnings of this meditation on faith. «Every morning, beginning in childhood, / the music of variation sustains / the equal loneliness of every soul.»...

<P>The poems of Robert Bly are rooted deep in the earth. Snow and sunshine, barns and cornfields and cars on the empty nighttime roads, abandoned Minnesota lakes and the mood of America now—these are his materials. He sees and talks clearly: he uses no rhetoric nor mannered striving for effect, but instead the simple statement that in nine lines can embody a mood, reveal a profound truth, illuminate in an important way the inward and hidden life. This is a poet of the modern world,...

Alhoewel reeds vroeër as motief aanwesig, vind die besinning oor die kunstenaarstaak besondere gestalte in die bundel Engel uit die klip (1950), ʼn titel waarmee hy andermaal die spanning tussen die goddelike en aardse aandui, nou met die aksent op die verlossingsmotief. Nie alle gedigte handel egter oor die kunstenaarstaak nie. – J C Kannemeyer

Negester oor Ninevé (1947) is die bevestiging van Opperman se digterskap en bring ʼn verdere ontwikkeling ná die debuutbundel deurdat die basiese drie “motiewe” nouer verbind en die afsonderlike verse in ʼn groter mate by ʼn omvattende konsepsie ingeskakel word. – J C Kannemeyer

In Liu's text the ascent, the ecstatic apprehension of the divine (he is a religious poet, there are no two ways about it, though perhaps there are twenty) can be effected only by a demonic insistence upon abjection, upon the descent. He shrives himself, and his poems show the marks of the lash–they are the lash–and his vision is naturalized to a degree that would astonish his predecessors, that astonishes us. This is a shocking poetry, and the shock is not of recognition, but of...

Deliciously wicked satires about local and international celebrities, the poems in Portable Altamont evince an irrepressible grasp of the zeitgeist, its machinations and manipulations, its possibilities and puerility. Who other than artist and raconteur Brian Joseph Davis could have imagined Margaret Atwood as a human beatbox, Jessica Simpson applying for arts grants or the Swedish Chef reciting T. S. Eliot? Davis uses every literary form available to revel in and rearrange pop culture. Even the...

With less content in my life I am infinitely more content Against the backdrop of a sibling’s death, an eating disorder, and a few very dismal dating relationships, Villa Negativa looks for laughter behind darkness: the intruder who politely removes her shoes, the fabricator whose closest relationship is with fibreglass, the anorexic who sends the Diet Coke back because it tastes too good. Meditative and mischievous, confessional and philosophical, sincere and sly by turns, Sharon...

In her astounding third collection, Nikki Wallschlaeger turns to water—the natural element of grief—to trace history’s interconnected movements through family, memory, and day-to-day survival. <em> Waterbaby</em> is a book about Blackness, language, and motherhood in America; about the ancestral joys and sharp pains that travel together through the nervous system’s crowded riverways; about the holy sanctuary of the bathtub for a spirit that’s pushed beyond exhaustion. Waterbaby sings...

In Kelli Russell Agodon’s fourth collection, each poem facilitates a humane and honest conversation with the forces that threaten to take us under. The anxieties and heartbreaks of life—including environmental collapse, cruel politics, and the persistent specter of suicide—are met with emotional vulnerability and darkly sparkling humor. <em> Dialogues with Rising Tides</em> does not answer, This or that? It passionately exclaims, And also! Even in the midst of great difficulty,...
