Broken Window Moonlight

Emerald City Poetics

Beschreibung

The uninterrupted energy of Rex Butters' remarkable style is clearly revealed in this collection. Seen in order of composition, the poems cast a pall on one another; like a slow-motion wrecking ball. They are not only works but also a work. Included here are poems from the midlife-volume of the Rex Butters brain. A collection of poems performed in venues and poetry stages, and from Butters' subsequent penning of new poetry: Broken Window Moonlight will bring you to calm and calamity, possibly define an America where dads are daddy-os and the slovenly rhyme will aggravate you into finger snap-step-skip. Enriching this book is a title illustration by Vanessa Bay.

Autor

Damn these poems, humdrum in their depiction of relationships within the constructs of human relationships, families, friends, neighbors, strangers, himself-all 'Is it my turn now?' 20th/21st century music and media culture throws up a few lode points, Uber, Arizona, Ginsberg, travel, homecomings, James Brown, and sense will be made of it. A sense. Because these poems were not made to reflect or to forewarn, there is no hand at the cradle to offer comfort. A battle against the allegiances inherent in the language in Rex Butters' fight for his own behalf is the reader's gain. Could as well sum up this collection with the final 4 lines of "who'll be the first to try to sell the spot where he dropped?" -'this time, Cecil it's about you but you're not here to read it .' - Mende Smith / Emerald City Media
