Centaur (Wisconsin Poetry Series)
De (autor) Greg Wrennen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 May 2013
Greg
Wrenn's
debut
collection
opens
with
a
long
poem
in
which
a
man
undergoes
surgery
to
become
a
centaur.
Other
poems
speak
in
voices
as
varied
as
those
of
Robert
Mapplethorpe,
Hercules,
and
a
Wise
Man
at
the
birth
of
Jesus.
Centaur
skitters
along
the
blurred
lines
between
compulsivity
and
following
one's
heart,
stasis
and
self-realization,
human
and
animal.
Here,
suffering
and
transcendence
are
restlessly
conjoined.

Recenzii
"Centaur
testifies
to
the
grave
fact
that
humans
can
harm
each
other
until
they
want
to
trade
in
their
bodies:
'I
want
to
feel
alive,'
says
the
man
seeking
to
become
a
centaur
as
the
book
begins.
This
is
a
masterful
poetic
debut
marked
by
lyric
brilliance
and
difficult,
yet
gleaming,
wisdom."—Katie
Ford,
author
of
Colosseum
"The
terrific,
turbulent
poems
in
Greg
Wrenn's
Centaur
seem
as
much
etched
as
written—acid-exact,
black
promises
on
white
possibilities,
lines
and
space
crosshatched
with
thrilling
precision.
These
poems
will
startle
you
at
first,
and
then
haunt
you
long
after."—J.
D.
McClatchy,
editor
of
The
Yale
Review
and
author
of
Hazmat
"These
powerful
poems
mark
the
aliveness,
suffering,
and
sensuality
of
the
body.
They
map
out
erotic
adventures
and
the
loneliness
of
human
need.
They
flout
danger
with
superb
lyric
craft.
But
they
don't
stop
there.
Each
poem
offers
a
paradigm
of
yearning
held
together
by
a
rare
excellence
of
language
and
music.
This
is
a
marvelous
debut
collection."—Eavan
Boland,
author
of
A
Journey
with
Two
Maps
"The
magic
here,
like
the
best
magic,
transforms
with
each
encounter.
Fluid,
tempered,
atmospheric:
Centaur
is
a
beautiful,
encompassing
debut."—Terrance
Hayes,
Brittingham
Prize
judge
and
National
Book
Award
winner
“Greg
Wrenn’s
poems
are
quietly
allusive
and
deep;
his

original
style
.

.
perhaps
shows
the
direction
our
poetry
is
headed
during
this
new
era
of
the
written
word’s
ascendancy.”—The
