5.0 out of 5 stars
science, faith, monstrosity, and poetry,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Corpse Flower: New And Selected Poems (Pacific Northwest Poetry Series) (Paperback)
Bruce Beasley ranks in my top five living poets. This collection is an excellent feast from his previous books, accompanied by ever-progressive new work. The title poem gives me chills with its eeriness. Eeriness is one of Beasley's many talents.
Keep in mind, Beasley writes about nature, science, and religion in a highly specialized vocabulary, so this may be daunting to the uninitiated. Personally, I actually enjoy being hit with a barrage of words I don't know. Not all of his poems are like this, but there are plenty of new words to look up and savor. If you love poetry about the connections between the spiritual, the natural, and the scientific, bordering on the horrifying, I strongly, strongly recommend this book. |
