Taken Somehow By Surprise (Wisconsin Poetry Series)
De (autor) David Clewellen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 Mar 2011
David
Clewell’s
spirited
poems
cut
through
the
noise
we
too
often
accommodate
in
our
daily
lives.
Breath
by
surprising
breath,
this
poet
takes
us
into
chambers
of
the
heart
that
have
never
been
mapped
quite
this
way
before.
By
turns
raucous
and
strangely
soothing,
narrative
and
lyrical,
Clewell
traffics
in
unlikely
and
compelling
details
of
our
mostly
discernible
world:
a
school
custodian’s
role
in
the
burgeoning
Space
Race,
the
vastness
of
abandoned
missile
silos,
the
first
lawn
flamingos,
and
the
living
fossil
still
using
a
typewriter.

Recenzii
“David
Clewell
is
an
exuberant,
inexhaustible
poet.
.
.
.
His
unstoppable
narrative
energy
and
his
multi-layered
curiosity
are
almost
enough
to
drive
this
poet
out
to
the
far
right
side
of
the
page.”—Billy
Collins,
former
U.S.
Poet
Laureate

Extras
Just
shy
of
fifty
years
since
it
arrived,
the
classic
pink
flamingo’s
gone
extinct,
done
in
by
the
rising
cost
of
plastic
and
unrelenting
flood
of
Chinese
knockoffs.

At
Hamilton
Elementary
we
watched
every
Mercury
launch
between
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance
and
our
ration
of
morning
milk
on
the
battered
TV
that
janitor
Geiss
always
lugged
into
our
room,
trailing
a
whiff
of
the
Lucky
Strikes
that
somehow
kept
him
going
in
the
humble
boiler-room
office
he
liked
to
call
his
very
own
Mission
Control.
The
entire
class
would
count
down
together
until
the
launch-tower
fell
away,
the
rocket-booster
fuel
igniting
with
the
kind
of
brilliant
firepower
that
in
those
days
never
failed
to
lift
our
skittish
hearts
into
our
throats.
We
were
suckers
for
anything
astronautical—the
suits,
the
helmets,
the
very
idea
of
leaving
the
outmoded
Earth
behind
us
for
a
while.
We’d
come
to
live
for
the
chance
of
escaping
the
pull
of
preadolescent
gravity.
