Family
Matters: An intense and
heart-breaking poetic narrative which, in its exploration of
historical and personal materials, holds affinities to the
work of Susan Howe and to James Agees classic Let Us
Now Praise Famous Men. Family Matters is a strenuous
questioning and exposure of the fictions of
ownership, whether of persons or places, graves or
farms. 2008. Bellday Books. $14 plus $2 shipping & handling. Available from the publisher at www.belldaybooks.com |

Possum "Shelby Stephenson's
Possum is a mysterious, mystical, and courageous
creature, as spooky and suggestive as a half-seen haint. At
every turn, Possum the animal and Possum the chapbook
invite allegorical, symbolic, and emblematic readings that
the critter and the poems then evade. Reckless and
thoughtful, suffering and victorious, the man and the
marsupial sing in close harmony down in the murky swamps
under a midnight sky. When the moon is at the zenith, you
can hear them: 'Raccoon up a simmon tree, possum on the
ground...' Is it harmony with a single voice?" |
