Recenzii

DuPlessis has created one of the most sustained and magnificent meditations written by a contemporary poet on loss, presence, and the haunting persistence of language to redeem what has vanished. -- Patrick Pritchett Jacket Given the beauty and complexity of these drafts, it's not much of an axaggeration to say DuPlessis has invented a new way of integrating poetic form and content. Readers get to choose between standing back to stare in awe of the compex formal structure or to step inside and spend hours eyeing the fine detail of each poem up close. -- Andrew Ervin The Philadelphia Inquirer "Drafts" is proving to be one of the major poetic achievements of our time. -- Ron Silliman Silliman's Blog What characterizes "Drafts 39-57" is the specificity of historical/contemporary cultural and political referents, the density of essayistic allusion and cerebral engagement, and the poems' insistence on displaying the degree to which they are inflected -- but not determined -- by a range of compelling axes of identifications or "identities" as they are materially experienced: "woman," "Jew," "writer," all of which seem inseparable from each other and from "thinker." -- Maria Damon How2 This volume continues what Ron Silliman has heralded as "one of the major poetic achievements of our time," an ongoing, open-ended and life-long poetic series, "Drafts", in the spirit of Robert Duncan's "H.D. Book", "Passages" and "Structure of Rime"; bpNichol's "Martyrology"; and Nathaniel Mackey's fictional "F/rom a Broken Bottle Traces of Perfume Still Emanate" as well as his poetic "Songs of the Andoumboulou". In fact it is hard to find something to say about this powerful serial that hasn't already been said, and with eloquence worthy of its subject -- often by the poet herself both in the poems and in the many poetics statements this most self-reflexively rigorous poet has disseminated in public space. To wit this beautiful fragment, from "Draft 52: Midrash": an impossible draft of half-built, half-crumbled all-suspicious poetry. -- Maria Damon HOW2
