The Waiting: Iowa Poetry Prize

Autor Megan Johnson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2005
In a startling and original poetic voice, Megan Johnson in The Waiting reveals a vigilant young person who has suffered an unmentionable loss and who dismantles and reconstitutes lyric modes in a relentless search for solace. A lyric adventure of grief and search, The Waiting reinvents language from raw materials, driven by intense emotional need.

Recenzii

"The Waiting brings to mind the mosaic precision and the complex music of Marianne Moore: 'I have rearranged your eyes into glass pinecones.' Here is a sensibility so complex and rich as to compose poems of rarefied beauty and haunting eloquence. Megan Johnson fashions 'an urn chipped by loving,' a work of intelligence and elegance and sensual pleasure."--D. A. Powell, author of Cocktails

"The Waiting is a great first book, obsessed, driven, full of the passion that is the discovery of poetry, the passionate invention of a language for speaking the unspeakable, the invention of an unspeakable self discovered by poetry. Megan Johnson's gift is enormous. Her work is a reminder that a poetry dedicated to speaking the truth never loses its power to shock a reader into awareness."--Mark Levine

"With her very first words in The Waiting--'See here'--Megan Johnson pledges herself to a daring, darling imperative: an open eye, an immediate presence. And she keeps her pledge, forwarding a sparkling and insouciant vision always farther in the direction of the day. It is a brilliant day."--Donald Revell, author of Arcady and My Mojave
