Anomie in America (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | Trevor Church | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

Trevor Church cites feminist poets Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton as major influences, as well as beat poet Gregory Corso and the punk poets Jim Carroll and Patti Smith. Like those mentioned, Church finds himself saturated in the mystery of death and those who teeter between this life and the next. The collection largely serves as a critique of America and the seedy under bellies in our society that have been left to decay. Church seeks to preserve these communities. Razor sharp poetry covered in the velvet mysticism of heroin is delivered in this collection - broken into three segments - presented in the form of a Choreopoem, haikus and free verse. A strong debut for the Portland memoirist and essayist. His memoir "The Gospel According to a Basket Case: the Truth About Vodka, Valium and Versace" will be released in 2017 through a major publishing company.
