This review is from: The American Voice Anthology of Poetry (Paperback)
From Kentucky, the "center of the universe", a selection from the American Voice journal presents poems, with neither a rural or parochial distribution or theme. There are poems from the Greek Nobel Laureate Odysseas Elytis, and Israeli soldier Yehunda Amichai. Numerous poets are translated from central and South American, including a surprising poem from Jorge Luis Borges about Lee's soldier in the Civil War. Looking at poetry anthologies, readers are left to form their own links between poems and this collection offers some startling ones. With a theme of quilts and scraps, there is the Kentuckian Catherine Sutton's haunting "Graveyard Quilt" to Jean Valentines allusion to the Aids quilt. Blood provides another common flow, for example Paula Allens' "Blood flows in the cobbled alleys with all the filth" . These poems expose the readers to a wide range of styles and locales. |
