Satire on the Poetic Enterprise,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All the Whiskey in Heaven: Selected Poems (Hardcover)
Charles Bernstein has gotten a bad rap as a language poet impossible to understand, but that is not the truth. Most of his poems are quite easy to understand. We've had comic poets before, like Swift and Pope, but never a comic poet to so lovingly make fun of the whole serious poetic enterprise. If you want serious, read Heterosexual: a Love Story. Heterosexual: A Love Story. The closest in spirit to Bertsein might be O'Hara. Berstein's poem written as a complaint letter by a rider to the chief of the subway system is worth the price of the book alone.
