Timothy Donnelly

The Problem of the Many (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Winner of the Big Other Book Award and finalist for the Believer Book Award.

If The Cloud Corporation is, as John Ashbery called it, "the poetry of the future, here, today," then Timothy Donnelly's third collection, The Problem of the Many, is the poetry of the future yet further pressed to the end of history. In astonishingly textured poems powerful and adroit in their negotiation of a seeming totality of human experience, Donnelly confronts-from a contemporary vantage-the clutter (and devastation) that civilization has left us with, enlisting agents as far flung as Prometheus, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Jonah, NyQuil, and Alexander the Great.
