Sinopsis

Poetry. "Ralph Angel makes visible the liminal: those almost unbearable states that hover near the threshold of perception. This is a poetics of trace and trance, accident and significance, rightly odd details, and speakers who are 'electrified / by earth shoes, a solitary goat dance, / the weird expanse of parking lots, / glittering, peopled with loneliness.' Angel combines the drop-dead nonchalance of film noir, the cool jazz of Chet Baker, and epiphanies of demise when he writes 'it takes / practice to get lost, paint with our own hair, burrow deeply / into shadows of flesh coming undone at the seams.' He eavesdrops on the American psyche and retrieves the somatic residue of speech within the dream-defiled paradise that is Southern California. In the absence of satiation, he makes a haven of longing. I am intoxicated by the fine strangeness of his work"--Alice Fulton.

Reseña del editor

Since the publication of his marvelous debut volume, Anxious Latitudes, Ralph Angel has been admired by readers of contemporary poetry for the extraordinary abstract lyricism of his poems. There is a superb grace, a speculative intelligence, and a wry philosophical wisdom to Ralph Angel's poetry. There are few poets so accomplished at creating an elegant yet innovative and provocative voice. His poetic phrasings recall the startling and original jazz voicings of a whole generation of great musicians, from Billie Holiday to Miles Davis, and it is within this profoundly American tradition of the voice of the outsider that his poetry continues to resonate. Now, in Ralph Angel's new collection, Neither World, we find ourselves again in the presence of poetry that will move us ever closer to a new and renewed promise of the American sublime.
