  • Moral Minority
    David R Swartz
    In 1973, nearly a decade before the height of the Moral Majority, a group of progressive activists assembled in a Chicago YMCA to strategize about how to move the nation in a more evangelical direction through political action. When they emerged, the Washington Post predicted that the new evangelical left could shake both political and religious life in America. The following d...

  • Shaksper
    david swartz
    Homage to you, David, for you have certainly brought about 'an achieved new form' in the seventy-five sections of Shaksper. This work is surely sui generis and should get widespread recognition, if it can be approached and appreciated by editors and critics.This great poem surely is the apogee of your long and amazingly productive creative output. Congratulations and plaudits, ...

  • Hart Crane
    david swartz
    'Hart Crane: The Immolation' is the companion to 'Rothko,' Swartz’s 14th book, the title poem of which is in nearly all respects a mirror image of the 33 section dramatic monologue of this last and current 'Hart Crane,' the title poem and poet’s 15th volume. The action is simply the final hours of Crane’s life. Based on exhaustive research which centers on the 3 seminal QUOTED ...

  • Rothko
    david swartz
    'Rothko,' the title long-poem of this slim volume, is an attempt to crystallize 20 texts on a very elusive major 'abstract expressionist' (a designation of which the artist himself derived scant satisfaction) into a dramatic monologue in a wholly new verse form, 33 sections of 6 couplets of nearly identical length lines, each section preceded by a brief haiku-like quotation fro...

  • Pieta`
    david swartz
    Pieta`: Song of the Blessed Virgin is the culminating volume of a master poet, who has charted his own truth and passage through the thicket of lesser work, of a host of contemporaries with limited pith and vision, venal ambition, a dogged tendency to measure themselves against peers and seldom the truly great. Witness here some sample rejections: 'Your work has great power an...

  • Splice
    david swartz
    The title work in this volume is truly the narrative of a SPLICE, that is, the conjoined, rejoined, temporary, temporarily, sanity of a man-deeply fragmented, wounded by his era, having fled employment and household out of dread and profound depression-who, arriving at the old cannabis buddy’s hometown, of all potential oases on a harsh Jehovah’s earth.Des Moines, Iowa .. havin...

  • Triptych
    david swartz
    Triptych begins with 3 quasi-Biblical dramatic poems, all dark, all convincing, an atavistic testimony to the harshness of an ancient Creator who exacts horror from his children, an unsettling tribute few will recognize from their childhood instruction, if any, in the ways of the elder Testament. The Daughter of Jephthah is the 1st, a fleshing out of the story of a man who trad...

  • DREAMSONGS and other songs
    david swartz
    'Dreamsongs' borrows no more from J. Berryman than an excellent title, for the gist of the introductory poems is likely (luckily) indeterminate, alternating in fierce dialectic between (and among) the wildest scatology and the most sensitive and lyrical paean to human nostalgia and regret.The poet in this first section flexes imagination in service of the widest range of public...

  • The Old Man and the Bird and Other Fictions
    david swartz
    Six dark fictions with a cosmic scope and a delirious immediacy, these shorter pieces (2 novellas and 4 one-acts) are an aspect of Swartz’s gift many will find welcome, others hugely unsettling. The Old Man and the Bird, the concluding sequence of a befuddled Harry Ricci, could be taken as a 'neo-conservatively-grotesque' parable. From there it is a short stroll to Burt Spew i...

  • Fragments in Search of Him
    david swartz
    'FRAGments' is a book-length poem addressing, albeit obliquely, the fate of a glittering young man who departed the poet’s world, first, from college in 1960, and then, later, by death, from a strangely prescient Vietnam, in 1967. Megraw, beyond just memory, haunts five hard decades. The 'hazel eyes, the perfect teeth, the preppy suits, the ease, the careless conversation, the...

  • AUTUMN in the hothouse and other poems
    david swartz
    The metaphysical outrage and indignation contained within these verses, for the most part formal yet seething with fury, has its only parallel in Wilfred Owen’s terrible indictments of the first Great War.There is a significant difference, however. The poet’s torment is expressed in the face of God and His Creation and not simply humankind’s personal handiwork.The lure of Swart...

  • The Prodigal Son
    david swartz
    The Prodigal Son is a trilogy of dramas, ambitious as Sophocles’, each of its own the first since Milton’s 'Samson' to attempt the scale and evocative power of ancient myth.'The Prodigal Son,' the first, restates the Biblical parable in starkly contemporary fashion-the prodigal, having dissipated seven years, now diseased and the lone attendant in a house of prostitution, attem...

  • A Second Coming
    david swartz
    A terrifying descent into madness, the first fearful steps on the path to recovery, this uncompromising memoir captures all the urgent and hypnotic tension of a commercial thriller. A Second Coming-the companion volume to Swartz’s great long-poem ’The Will to Christ'-is a probing investigation of the unconscious and metaphysical wellsprings of a singular poetic gift. And yet it...

  • The Will to Christ
    david swartz
    The author studied at Penn State, where he played no football, and Iowa, where he skirted the Workshop. He found God, lysergic acid, and despair in the Sixties, survived by getting that era into his art-some nineteen novels, twelve verse plays and more poetry than Browning.The Will to Christ contains ambition, a paean to bipolar disorder, four dramatic monologues by major playe...
