In the misanthropic spirit of Racine and Genet, these poems enact a "private genocide" toward American consumerism and mass culture, which speeds out of control while poets and prophets, once provacateurs, complacently sing jingles Göransson is angry, vulgar, and sometimes crude as he parodies and prods contemporary American poetry's insularity and factionalism-- still hung up on Modernism. Beauty becomes a "riddle doused in gasoline" in this epic sequence, often interrupted by Godard-like flashes of mottos and pithy jokes, mixes surrealist impulses with L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E-esqe prosody. Notions of genre are demolished and language itself seems relegated to a wildly impossible epistemological space that is something akin to "whispering in hammers" or "speaking in silhouettes." The poet satirizes, prods, pastiches, and "grotesquerizes" until every assumption we have, cultural or personal, crumbles in his re-invented idiom..

Catherine Meng's debut collection of poetry is a dazzling meditation on Glenn Gould, Neil Young, the fugue, a professor, his library, flocks of geese, and the interconnection, via the ampersand, of all it. In its beautifully sustained lyric response to the changing seasons, we learn to recognize suggestive patterns, repeating phrases, and objects as signs toward greater meaning in our lives. There is a transcendental quality about the writing here, but as if Emerson had read the great French phenomenologists. The book also includes a dense set of notes that introduce the poems, a bibliography, and a discography-- all referring restlessly to song lyrics, biographies, and philosophical treatises. This is a unique book of poetry..
