Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. John Freeman's first poetry collection charts the impact of place on human experience. In Beirut, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Rome, and the foothills of a childhood hometown, Freeman navigates legacies of ruin and construction, illness and memory. Warm, mournful, and distinctly urban, Maps offers a compassionate perspective from the experience of one American embroiled in empire.From "You Are Here:"The city grindsits molars at night, carefully minedexplosions boring cavities beneathManhattan, while other linesride all hours in yellow light, glidingto stops at the zebra-painted beamhalfway down each platform,conductor always pointing up, as ifto say, yes, you are here."At the intersection of art and heart, this magnificent sheaf of voyages leads us through the di fficult and picturesque atlas of a life. This is an enduring and rapturous account of a lifes journey to plumb the depths of the known in order to reveal the hidden and unknown." D.A. Powell"What is mapped here, in John Freemans exquisite and robust poetry debut, are the territories of loss, pain, violence, and reckoning that make up a life. And also those of love, remembrance, and unabashed passion that make that same life livable. Maps is a consolation and a delight." Tracy K. Smith"John Freemans astonishing book of poems shows us first an America that could once and sometimes still be experienced in a vacuum, removed from the brutal struggles that are the daily life of much of the world. Then he takes us into that world, where human tenderness is martyred and buried, day after day. In Freemans hands the most minimal scenes, the smallest gestures, record our persistence and fragility. Disconsolate, loving, burdened by memory, undeceived but somehow still doggedly hopeful, these poems help us to see a world were just beginning to map." Mark DotyJohn Freeman is an American writer and literary critic. A graduate of Swarthmore College, Freeman is the editor of Freemans, a literary biannual, and author of two books of nonfiction, The Tyranny of E-mail and How to Read a Novelist.
