Produktbeschreibung
In Redhawk's 90 new poems, his unrelenting voice is honest, unapologetic and exhilarating. Whether he is telling a funny story or indicting Western civilization, Redhawk lays bare the pain and ecstasy of the human condition. Admirers of his three previous collections will be further moved by this new book, and newcomers will find a voice that speaks to each soul. Getting Famous Young men and women do not be fooled by the dealers in dreams. They would have you believe that if only your work gets seen by the right person, somehow fame will shower you. It's a trick, a con; everyone is drowning, no one is special, no one knows how the Light works or why it is suddenly on them. Give no thought to fame, you are being taken in by lies, seduced by the promise of order just beneath the surface and if you just make the right moves then you will fit in, you will be one of them who is loved by the millions. There is no love in fame; it drains you dry and then it spits your carcass into a ditch. There is no order to fame, it is chaos, 3 people waiting for a bus and a car out of control strikes the middle one. You can't outsmart it. If it wants you it will find you wherever you are and if it doesn't then even if you step in front of it, still it will strike the person in the middle and leave you standing there waiting for the bus.

Autorenporträt
Red Hawk teaches English at the University of Arkansas at Monticello. He has written four books of poetry, and counts among his greatest fans a collection of critics that include Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Award Winners and a Poet Laureate of the United States. What makes Red Hawk maybe the most unique voice in American poetry? One thing all his critics agree on: spare language, plain, even everyday...."until the insight that you didn't see coming hits you and takes your breath away." Red Hawk gives his own rules of thumb for writing: Always tell the truth no matter how bad you think it makes you look. Write what's in your body, what you know.
