Satisfaction Guaranteed. In this selection of peoms written over thirty years, Leon Stokesbury careens through the Maple Leaf Bar and the Restaurant-on-the-Corner, Oklahoma City and Fairbanks, Alaska, consuming and offering up his sweet-and-sour vision of our lot in life. Whether he comes at us in masks as varied as his father and mother, Nick Bottom or John Keats, Senor Wences or Owen Glendower, it is his own Cheshire grin we spy creeping out around the edges. He readily sees the horror in the death of a New Orleans poet, in his own brother's sufferings, in the inescapable process of mutability itself, but he finds also, often enough, the dark joke at the center of things and the chance for redemptive laughter. With each turn of Stokesbury's kaleidoscopic vision, the reader is presented another pattern, cut from the same true glass but completely new and fully realized. The mystery of what it all adds up to gives these poems their strange sparkle. Whether in his own deeply personal voice or in the multitude of idioms from which he is able to draw - southern, midwestern, Shakespearean - Stokesbury creates whole landscapes in perfected, formal lines from the shards of memories and dreams.

paperback. Condizione: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. Fayetteville. 2016. August 2016. University of Arkansas Press. Uncorrected Galley. Very Good in Wrappers. 9781682260074. 6 × 9. 180 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Poetry. DESCRIPTION - '[Stokesbury] is one of the funniest poets I know. He has a way of making opposed tones of voice collide that is uniquely his own. He has a genuine grasp of the loneliness and horror of this world, but he is never so tragic as when he is hilariously clowning. These opposed qualities, like the opposed tones of voice, give his work an astonishing tension and breadth.' - W. D. Snodgrass. 'Leon Stokesbury is a poet of subtle but often startling insight, a voice speaking in familiar, conversational tones, friend to friend, then a perception as arresting as a shift of light in a forest wind. We are fortunate to have this selection of Stokesbury's work written over decades and to enjoy his versatile style, humorous, satirical, and his piercing observations. You Are Here presents a perspective on where we have been and where we might be going.' - Pattiann Rogers, author of Holy Heathen Rhapsody. Winnowed from a distinguished career, then distilled, then polished and winnowed again, the poems in You Are Here are Leon Stokesbury's most successful and finished from fifty year's of published work. The selections from his earlier volumes are as fully realized as one would expect from the winner of the AWP Poetry Competition and the Poets' Prize. But it is in Stokesbury's new work, collected under the heading 'These Days,' that he shows us something completely different. From a county carnival sideshow to Hitchcock's Mount Rushmore, from John Keats's backyard to the miseries of a failed crematorium operator, every turning of a page reveals a particular we didn't see coming. You Are Here truly seems like a sideshow of this modern world, even when we read and find, amazed, our own selves looking back at us. 'Why do we still only stand here?' Stokesbury asks in one of his earliest efforts. And all the other poems in this collection give him such varied answers that readers will have no idea what the next page holds, only that they will find themselves somewhere new. inventory #42814.…
