The poems in Jennifer Atkinson’s Canticle of the Night Path, collected in alphabetical order from “Canticle of A” to “Canticle of Zed,” are little songs of five—five lines, five sentences, five couplets, or five paragraphs—canticles to, for, with, and of all sorts of things. There are Canticles to Chipped Plates, to Dust, with Eyelashes, with Macaroons, of Rhymes, Rushes, Slippage, Stone, Shrapnel and Manna. Woven throughout the book, along with a series of Parables as if excerpted from her...

BLOOD ORBITS is a series of poems and prose poems exploring various conceptualizations of history both as a generative principle of meaning and as particular contexts and events through which we shape our subjectivities. In language that is richly musical and startlingly surreal, these poems interrogate and confront narratives that encode oppression, violence, and dishonesty, both the “grand narratives” which structure our place in history as well as the stories that we as individuals tell...

If you think that Turner Cassity has mellowed or slowed down since the 1998 release of his selected poems, The Destructive Element , think again. In No Second Eden Cassity is back more Swiftian than ever. Among the targets reduced to ruin are countertenors, parole boards, the French Symbolists, calendar reformers, the Yale Divinity School, and the cult of Elvis. Without turning a blind eye, he even extends a toast to Wernher von Braun. Surprisingly, there is a poem about the Mississippi in...

It is 1942 and Denmark is occupied by German troops. A young woman is invited to spend the summer with people she barely knows in a cottage on the North Sea coast. There she meets two people who will affect her entire life: a fourteen-year-old boy who is the nephew of her hosts, and an English airman who is shot down over the marshlands nearby. Timid friendships develop into a dangerous triangle, and many years later an elderly man looks back on it all asking himself whether his youthful desire...

'We were on one of the technologically most advanced places on earth but the guys in grease-smeared brown sweat shirts and floatcoats, draped with heavy brown chains, looked like they were ready to face the burning oil poured on them from the walls of an impregnable castle. The combination of medieval (chains) and sci-fi (cranials and dark visors) didn't quite cover it though; there was also an element of the biker gang about them. All things considered, theirs was one of the toughest,...

In hierdie bundel is daar heelwat stiltes in herinneringsverse en nostalgiese verse, wat afgewissel word met verse wat die stilte verskeur. Die digter, in hierdie bundel, kla haarself aan, sy haal haar af en sy verraai haar: die digter is die kitaarspeler en “sal alles doen en selfs verraai, net dat ’n nuwe deuntjie in my draai” (DJ Opperman).Die woord staan voorop in hierdie gedigte. Dit is “woordverse” sonder dat die idee ondergeskik gestel word aan die woord.Selde nog het Hambidge die...

Die drie uitgesponne gedigte wat die kern van Die afwesigheid van berge vorm, slaan die leser met die een kragtige golf van poëtiese besinning na die ander: die Bedevaartslied (“Op dié reis blyk die reisiger / onverwags ongereed te wees . . . ”), Hooglied (met stralende liefdespassasies) en Danklied. Dit is die spreker (’n alleman) se reis onderweg na die dood – die gedagtevlugte, die besinnings, die fantasieë waartoe die bewussyn geskok word. Maar die spreker is sterwend in hiérdie land....

Melanie Grobler verstaan die kuns om die leser los te maak van die aarde en die aardse: Die reistema, geografies sowel as deur streke van die gees, is dan ook ’n bindende en fassinerende faktor in haar nuwe digbundel. Ook die reis na die gedig, en telkens sien die leser die digter onderweg na die gedig. Die spreker van die verse vereenselwig haar dikwels met sjamaan-figure of mistici of gestorwe voorouers en hul transendentale reise. Die digter se reis stem dus by implikasie ooreen met dié van...
