House Envy of the All the World Simone White Poetry
ISBN:
978-1-60001-071-1 (paperback) Description: Is all black desire corrupt? If American aspiration is linked to the desire to have whiteness, be male and make money, what, now, can a decent person want? Family, death, power, Poetry and blackness---each is implicated in a general failure of perfection and subjected to furious lyric re-thinking in Simone White's work; a poetry of ideas where "the whole limbic system [becomes] an event," "decorous" and profane, precise and bewildered. |
