A new collection of poems from a true West Coast surrealist. Expect to see pantoums, a cento or two, and appearances by Billie Holiday, Lana Turner, Elton John, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In TANGLED HOLOGRAM, his seventh collection, poet James Cushing continues his explorations into the territories where dream and reality rub up against each other, where Sappho parties with Beyonce, where Lana Turner wears super-tight white shorts, and You wake up juicy and radiant, / believing in your green, sporadic self (Our Path Through the Garden).

A new collection of poems from a true West Coast surrealist. Expect to see pantoums, a cento or two, and appearances by Billie Holiday, Lana Turner, Elton John, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. In TANGLED HOLOGRAM, his seventh collection, poet James Cushing continues his explorations into the territories where dream and reality rub up against each other, where Sappho parties with Beyonce, where Lana Turner wears super-tight white shorts, and You wake up juicy and radiant, / believing in your green, sporadic self (Our Path Through the Garden). In this marvelous new collection of poems, James Cushing not only sings the body electric; he sings the art form electric. Always engaging and inventive, energetic, even startling, the poems in TANGLED HOLOGRAM are the work of a poet at the top of his game--a poet who admits with a wink that he 'italicize[s] [his] nasturtiums so they look more important, ' and more importantly, allows that his 'deepest voice has opened like a sunburst' here. Antic, off-beat, but always also profound, the poems in this book speak about who we are now: people shaken to the core by our contemporary lives. He connects 'every letter with its mate, /resulting in a set of new words that mean what we became.' Yes! Oracle, sage, master craftsman, Cushing delivers, and 'the audience is suddenly many years younger than they were when they first sat down.' These poems will make you young again. They'll bring moments of uncensurable delight to our flimsy, windy lives.--Gail Wronsky, author of Under the Capsized Boat We Fly Poetry.
