Riassunto

Romantic and full of wistful humour, the poetry of Pushcart Prize-nominee Janpaul Ferro seduces through its humanity and unconceited, humble nature. Here are poems dealing with break-ups, city life and disappointments; relevant and vibrant, they speak to the heart and mind. True to its name, Jazz has an improvised quality, shifting from step to step with delightful unpredictability. Perhaps more than anything else, Ferro is a topical poet interested in the world around him.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Jéanpaul Ferro's Jazz is full of this gut-wrenching diversity that moves us through a realm of heartbreaking worlds full of longing and contradiction. It is high art. It is modern life. It is the very world that we all see around us. As a whole, Jazz is a time capsule for the past ten years of American life. --Rachel Lancaster, Rattle Magazine

Jéanpaul Ferro's poems welcome you in and pour you a glass of the good stuff, with sinuous music in the background and dark wind in the trees outside to make you want to stay. ----Tom Chandler, Providence Journal
