5.0 out of 5 stars
Great,
This review is from: The Myth of the Simple Machines (Paperback)
The importance of this -- match -- of New York School to Edward Gorey (and now Edward Gorey is so filtered through Tim Burton) to the very fine and long tradition of nonsense verse and verse that isn't light, really, isn't surrealist, really, isn't for children, but just might squeak and twitter the right way to appeal, to sell, to be women's writing that is right for the cocktail hour OR to be illustrated BECAUSE EVERYBODY ENJOYS IT: this is Laurel Snyder's achievement in this book. It is wonderful and perfect, but more than this: it shows a line of inquiry, aesthetic and interest that is taking place alongside surrealism, alongside the gothic, alongside abstract expressionism. The opening poem IS "The Field Has a Girl." And then, through the poems, the girl continues.
Great stuff! |
