The Zoo: Pitt Poetry Series

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 dec 2001

Joanie Mackowski’s debut collection of poetry is meditative, vivid, sometimes weird. Turning an idiosyncratic eye to the inhabitants of zoos and fish tanks, cafes and cemeteries, she illuminates details that make the familiar seem strange. An egret stands "still as a glass of milk"; iceberg lettuce is a "vegetable leviathan" that "extends beneath the dinner table / an unseen, monstrous green"; a bald eagle may "love a jet?— / or worship them all, or mock them, rigid / freaks that never linger."

Recenzii

“ . . . her first collection . . . is a high-spirited survey of our peculiar species, often with parallel glances at other animals . . . Mackowski’s wit stands her in good stead . . . She has talent to burn . . .”
--Poetry Magazine

“. . . gaze is superseded by sharp observation that yields vivid visual imagery and invites immersion. . . . Mackowski’s rhymes, myriad and ingenious, are one of the most impressive features of The Zoo.”
--The Yale Review

“A virtuoso performance. . . .Contains many delightful surprises and not a few ideas worth considering.”
—Antioch Review
