Produktbeschreibung
Borrowing rhythms, vocabulary, and themes from the Bible, this collection of poems is more than artful parody--it is an approach that accommodates large themes, unraveling them in new ways. The first section is a kaleidoscopic view of the sins and sinners of the modern city and opens, appropriately enough, with a vision of a flood to rival Noah's. The poems feature domestic discord, gossip, suicide, celebrity, and anxiety about the safety and behavior of children and spouses. A skillful use of form is characteristic, along with a meticulous poise and tone that lure readers in with sympathies fully engaged. Gently satirical and with a sophisticated and quietly subversive voice, this book is an antidote to religious fanaticism.
