Product Description
Poetry In fact
poetry
will not
strike
lightning
through
any
convoy of chickens Today poems are like flags
flying on liquor store roof
poems are like baboons
waiting to be fed by tourists & does it matter
how many metaphors
reach out to you
when the sun
goes down like
a stuffed bird in
tropical forest
of your solitude In fact
poetry
will not
sing jazz
through
constricted mouth
of an anteater
no matter how many
symbols survive
to see the moon
dying in saw dust
of your toenail

What I always wanted poetry to be May 29, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
If you are thinking of going to Brazil, read the poem "Samba is Power" first, or when you're there, or after, or even if you never go. I used to think poetry was too esoteric for me. But I never felt, when reading these poems, that I was missing something. This book of poems was one of the first to get me interested in poetry. That was because they were what I wanted poetry to be: great rhythms that roll easily off the tongue, adressing the issues of the world we live in, a little silly sometimes, sometimes so cutting as to cause discomfort- but in a good way. There is so much energy and vitality in these poems- I can't convey it to you. All I can say is READ THIS BOOK! Then you'll know what it is to have your socks knocked off by a poem.
