Autor Joanna Fuhrmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2009
Fuhrman's fourth book of pop-surrealist lyrical poetry undermines contemporary constructs of beauty with an absurdist's eye for detail. She playfully manipulates the language of commodity culture to spark social awareness and inspire simultaneous laughter and mindful mortification.

Recenzii
"Forget New York poetry. Forget Language poetry. Forget desires for a totalizing poetics. Fuhrman is a leader in the particular, in 'infra-surrealism.' She taboos nothing; no form impedes her complete wit. This full poetry is not only 'feminine, marvelous, and tough,' but subtle, searching, and wounded—sexual, social, and smart. Fuhrman celebrates new truth-telling, an art of the spectacular pageant."—David Shapiro
"...some real poetic gems...we have the real poet."—Stride Magazine
“Joanna Fuhrman is a witty visionary for our virtual age. Her poems invite you not just to read but to become immersed in their delightfully protean postmodern landscapes. The work is both exotic and mundane, retro and futuristic at the same time. Pulsating with surround-sound and a panoply of ‘neon fluid’ special effects, this book startles as it entertains.”—Elaine Equi

Extras
From "For Newlyweds":
Your new life starts by unraveling the light.
Your new life starts you when you bash your
shadow with a kite. It really starts here:
on this airplane with all the empty seats,
flying over a city that used to have another name,
used to be full of taller and/or skinnier buildings,
used to be teeming with houseplants, bursting
with rollerblading messengers, brimming with lakes.

Descriere
Fuhrman charms, letting us in on the joke with a brazenly critical and warmly intelligent voice.
