David Barber: Naked, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A moving and sonically stunning exploration into the body and soul

David Barber's masterful new book, NAKED , is powered by prolific feats of verbal prowess. With formal dexterity, nerve, and ingenious wordplay, these poems grapple with the serious business of soulmaking. In a spacious collection that enacts changes on the touch-and-go of innocence and experience, these poems are rife with inklings and reckonings in the name of muscle memory and mortal longing. Here, Hollywood meets Babylon in the Garden of Earthly Delights; Odysseus opts for a username; the naked eye goes toe-to-toe with the naked truth; American sonnets & ampersands run wild. NAKED is an all-out lovers' quarrel over the give-and-take of the spirit and flesh---and Barber is all in.
