About This Item
Princeton. 2011. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780691149455. 59 pages. paperback. Cover art: Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Christ Carrying the Cross (1564). keywords: Poetry Literature America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - In Anthony Carelli's remarkable debut, CARNATIONS, the poems attempt to reanimate dead metaphors as blossoms: wild and lovely but also fleeting, mortal, and averse to the touch. Here, the poems are carnations, not only flowers, but also body-making words. Nodding to influences as varied as George Herbert, Francis Ponge, Fernando Pessoa, and D. H. Lawrence, Carelli asserts that the poet's materials--words, objects, phenomena--are sacred, wilting in the moment, yet perennially renewed. Often taking titles from a biblical vocabulary, CARNATIONS reminds us that unremarkable places and events--a game of Frisbee in a winter park, workers stacking panes in a glass factory, or the daily opening of a cafE--can, in a blink, be new. A short walk home is briefly transformed into a cathedral, and the work-worn body becomes a dancer, a prophet, a muse. inventory #9039 ISBN: 9780691149455.
