then scrape the pinto beans

and chunks of flooring beef

off his face with a knife.

yet in basic terms because the Destroying Angel mushroom yields, its softness allied

yet brazen, the deviant tentacles underneath the underskirt of a mystery queen

The new poetry assortment by way of Fanny Howe, whose "body of labor turns out greater, stranger, and extra everlasting with every one new e-book she publishes" (Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize citation)

People are looking to be poets for purposes that experience little to do with language.
It's the lifetime of the poet that they want.
Even the glow of loneliness and humiliation.
To stroll within the gutter with a bottle of wine.

Some people's lives are extra poetic than a poem,
and Francis is definitely certainly one of these.

I recognize, simply because he walked beside me for that brief time
whether you think it or not.

El hundimiento del massive es un magistral poema épico –una hazaña desacostumbrada en estos tiempos– en torno a una historia que, aunque conocida, no ha perdido un ápice de su tensión dramática. En efecto, el enorme transatlántico, gigantesca maravilla del mundo que naufragó una gélida mañana del año 1912, no fue sólo un buque, sino también un mito: los angeles encarnación del progreso tal como se entendió en el siglo XIX, un concepto cuya vigencia ha sufrido un serio revés tras los avatares de los angeles historia reciente. A lo largo de treinta y tres cantos, en este poema –explícitamente inspirado en los angeles divina comedia de Dante, escritor que retorna a menudo entre los fantasmas evocados por Enzensberger– se efectúa una soberbia recreación de los angeles catástrofe. Los alaridos de los náufragos, las rememoraciones nostálgicas de los muertos, los inarticulados mensajes de los supervivientes; pero también fragmentos de telegramas, las últimas informaciones meteorológicas, las desesperadas peticiones de auxilio. Asimismo, las minuciosas descripciones de los menús de a bordo, l. a. arquitectura del buque, l. a. decoración y las pinturas kitsch de sus salones, las inoportunas alegorías de los angeles Paz y del Progreso. Y todo ello embalsamado en el gran vacío del agua. Pero no sólo se trata de este hundimiento registrado en los documentos de l. a. Historia: como fantasma, el sizeable sigue navegando. Su actualidad está probada por l. a. puntualidad con que su destino sigue reflejándose en películas, fantasías y pesadillas. El poema trata también de este vast imaginario, de este «naufragio mental». los angeles redacción de este libro se inició en Cuba en 1969, se elaboró durante casi diez años y se abandonó y reemprendió varias veces a lo largo de este tiempo. Elogio de l. a. provisionalidad y de l. a. duda, este poema refleja asimismo l. a. main issue del militante marxista que ha perdido las ilusiones; no se adopta una «posición correcta», los angeles justicia de los angeles poesía no es de este orden: en caso de duda, está de parte de quienes sucumbieron en el naufragio.
