Opis

Good Hope Road is one of those rare books of verse that combine lyricism with the momentum of narrative, a concern for dailiness with a willingness to embrace wildness. Like Joyce's Dubliners, the twelve poems of the opening sequence, -Apartments, - reflect a wide panorama of contemporary urban consciousness. Dischell's subjects are wronged lovers, thwarted citizens, an idealistic veteran, bickering relations--all with their entangled, fractious alliances. In -Household Gods, - the book's second section, Dischell presents dramatic monologues whose scenes are the shore, the city, and the countryside. Here are homages and elegies; poems of childhood, betrayal, and loss. Observant and compassionate, this edition of Good Hope Road reintroduces the work of a striking and powerful writer.
