Book Review: The rhythm of life danced in words.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love poetry, if you love the rhythm of life danced in words, look here. Many of the poets in this book would undoubtedly be more compelling heard live, but three outstanding writers take you inside and outside of yourself--Carl Hancock Rux, a long articulate cry; "The mountains have not known me this way/the tenements with their secret apartments/have never noticed the details of my feet/This is even more than I've ever known about myself/the sound that comes from my throat/when I am surrendering to ocean currents, rejoicing at my endurance." The wit and sensuality of Tish Benson: "I wanna go to the pit of yo soul/afix myself between it and a moon in full bloom/croonin for u like a bayou geechie woman in heat and thankin God/that the world will know what shoulda been all along:/u a bad Boogaloosa Louisiana booga". But for me it is the words of Ava Chin that take me truly away from my own puny thoughts, on trips through generations, conversations with the present and past. Her intelligence and talent make me dizzy. "If I could breathe her in and out of me/would I be able to sew the most intricate garment/with the lightest thread?"
