Poetry Returned to Incantation and Enchantment,
By Earl R. Sutton "earlsutton" (Detroit, MI, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lover of My Soul: A Search for Ecstasy and Wisdom (Paperback)
"In The Lover of My Soul, Perry Brass offers us a biography of himself, as well as a spiritual journey of nakedness, surrender, and transcendence. On this journey, he finds the 'lover of my soul,' that immense, deep Connection found in moments of intense feeling. He finds the Lover in many places, including the mysterious metaphor of Jesus ('What a Best Friend I Have In Jesus') and in one of the most poignant 'S&M' poems in print, 'My Master Richard Has Returned' from 'Three Los Angeles Poems.' He talks about his family, his growing up, his dog, his partner, the luminous, lost figure of his father and the disturbing one of his mother. There are moments of icy anger ('A Warning to Fag Bashers') and of full-throttle eroticism. Brass does not blush at either. As he did in his first book, Sex-Charge, he has taken poetry outside the academic ghetto and returned it to incantation and enchantment, with even a little 'two-steppin' thrown in. His work dances across the page, and finds a place waiting for it in your eyes and mind."--© zebraz
