March Book!,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: March Book (Paperback)
The March Book is incredible and unforseen, as any great book must be. Not since "Lord Weary's Castle" has a poet been heralded in such a fashion by the work itself. Just as Lord Weary's Castle astounded not by innovation but by consummate skill and breadth, here we see Jesse Ball triumph in the sheer strength of his imaginative powers, in the sheer clarity of his delivering thought. The poems here function fundamentally on the level of thought, winding in and out of various conceptions, various intents. What elevates this book most of all however is its philosophy of careful hope; hope set against weariness, betrayal, suffering. This may not be a new argument, but no one else is couching it as Ball is, in a theater of such implacable momentum.

Father's Day Present,
By Jim Levin "Jim Levin" - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: March Book (Paperback)
My kid bought this book for me as a father's day present, and I only just got arround to reading it. I have to say, it's kind of tough. There were a lot of words I had to look up. But I feel like there's something in Jesse Ball's writing that isn't about it being complicated even though it is. He just has to write what he has to write, and now we get to read it. The best one of all is the last one in the long block. I don't know where he thought of it, but I read it twice, and I don't usually read poetry.

!!!,
By Orson Cleith - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: March Book (Paperback)
This book is the real thing, a manifesto written by a master poet. Don't be deceived by Ball's youth. He is a veteran with a careful eye and a quick trigger finger. The most remarkable section is the Numbered Column.
