George Quasha's torqued, enigmatic proverbs create unlikely balances among discrepant engagements. The vectors of these marvelous poems work at cross purposes, keeping each other aloft. These are sparkling aphoristic aporias for a new age in an old time. \"Poetry,\" says Quasha, \"resists immortality with difficulty.\" And also with wit and charm. Be here now, in which case immortality will take care of itself.\"\u003c\/i\u003e Charles Bernstein, author of \u003ci\u003eAttack of the Difficult Poems\u003c\/i\u003e If William Blake's \"Proverbs of Hell\" are poetry, then George Quasha's \u003ci\u003epreverbs\u003c\/i\u003e are like a close cousin. It's core question is: \u003ci\u003ecan poetry say the unsayable?\u003c\/i\u003e Like Blake's work, \u003ci\u003eGlossodelic Attractors\u003c\/i\u003e makes you wonder: what \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e poetry? A well established poetic tradition both modern and post-modern--some call it experimental--starts its definition with: \u003ci\u003epoetry is not what you think it is. \u003c\/i\u003eIts work is journeying inside language, as if passing through a distant country or else another reality. It conveys news of alternate dimensions showing through in the here-and-now, embedded inside our everyday thoughts and speaking. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Barrytown\/Station Hill Press, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Glossodelia Attract: Preverbs | George Quasha | Paperback | 9781581771435 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks R 1757445","offer_id":49329541283992,"sku":"1757445","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61DVxtR4TBL.jpg?v=1782338611","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/glossodelia-attract-preverbs","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
