An Unforgettable Poet,
By Carroll Dale Short (Dshort5005@aol.com) (Birmingham, Ala.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Someone Will Go on Owing: Selected Poems 1966-1992 (Hardcover)
"Unforgettable" is a term that becomes more questionable every day as our saturation with information--literature, and otherwise--continues, but there are many of Andrew Glaze's poems that linger indelibly in my mind. The author bemoans the state of contemporary poetry as too often "timid, derivative, academic," and his own work is as opposite from this faint-hearted approach as one can imagine.This latest compendium contains some 25 years worth of his best work from 6 previous volumes, including his first major book DAMNED UGLY CHILDREN, which was a Pulitzer finalist in 1966. That book's title poem, as well as "A Letter to David Matzke" are invigorating manifestos of the role ("bard and prophet," as one reviewer has described it) Glaze envisions for writers in our society. And such gems as "The Trash Dragon of Shensi," "I Am the Jefferson County Courthouse," and "Ice Break" are alone with the price of this powerful collection. |
