With a salve in one hand and a burcher's knife in the other, Janet Kaplan offers her masterful third collection, "Dreamlife of a Philanthropist," winner of the 2011 Ernest Sandeen prize in Poetry. The prose poems and sonnets in "Dreamlife" are packed with postmodern language-leaping, modern irony and absurdity, and a poet's ageless ear for the pleasures of the lyric and formal experimentation. These are poems that can never quite abandon the hope that life--and language--are worthy pursuits; but they never offer up easy assurances about the benefits of humanity to anyone or anything. Get... With a salve in one hand and a burcher's knife in the other, Janet Kaplan offers her masterful third collection, "Dreamlife of a Philanthropist," w... |
