4.9/5 (15939 ratings)

Description:"Humor & history with the sharpest of edges—David Hadbawnik’s Holy Sonnets to Orpheus and Other Poems makes selvages where the languages of myth & the literary canon meet the languages of social media, sports, lovers’ abbreviations, & other contemporary vernaculars. 'Batter-up to my heart.' Voyeurism & display, friendship & competition, love & jealousy, nature & the callous destruction thereof—a voice is both the 'wind snapping on / plastic bags caught / in winter branches' & 'a small bird / [taking] flight making / the leaves shake.' These are equal choices, not a hierarchy of poetic possibilities— rather, everything at once. I read 'And then went down to the ship. Then / became Men’s Rights Activists' & thought : yes, of course! Hadbawnik’s new book is a reading of how we might read now, right now, through history & in history. 'We’re all / godfucked anyway, some of us / just die sooner.' These poems are thorough. This book is a pleasure to read & also about the pleasures of reading through. —Pattie McCarthyThere is no quick contact line between the sacred and profane, nor are the delicate threads of those outlooks frayed in David Hadbawnik’s poetic palimpsests, Holy Sonnets to Orpheus and Other Poems. The vocalic outreach to antiquity, a lyric channeling of the English Renaissance, and the exuberant undertones of Romance are performed in masquerades of contemporary utterances of the now. 'And what am I?' asks the Orphic figure. 'An ordinary nothing?' Personhood escapes to underworld self-erosion, and poetry returns in the levity of song’s enduring, transforming play. It is a history of the making of soulful artifice. —Dale SmithWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
