  • Polishing the Silver
    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

    Djelloul Marbrook
    'You wounded me. The wounds grew wings,' so opens The Yellow Suitcase, lines that grab you and won’t let go. Poems land like a palm on the chest, tender, fierce, true. If lyric that aches and heals speaks to you, someone who loves a gut-punched poem, poems that actually do something: name pain, map it, and offer a way forward?

  • Dadaist and Dada That
    Djelloul Marbrook
    New Poetry from a MasterOver the years, Marbrook has mastered a warmly colloquial voice - the poems feel near and dear as an old friend speaking - delivering the philosophical ruminations of a life rich in experience and wonder. His poems feel as connected as charms on a weighty silver necklace from an older country, passed down from the grandmothers. They shine with honest hop...

  • Lying like presidents
    Djelloul Marbrook
    The linked cantos comprising “Lying Like Presidents” are a kind of echolalia in the service of anonymity. Echolalia, usually associated either with a child learning to speak or a disorder, here is a matter of conscience in a poet who craves anonymity in honor of cosmic oneness but remains craven enough to rely on his name, his vita. The cantos are also a paean to two childhood ...

  • The loneliness of shape
    Djelloul Marbrook
    The loneliness of shape is a moment’s relief from the great burdens imposed on us by the ordering of society to serve the few. These poems challenge the way we are parsed by marketers in order to be sold goods, services and ideas and the way we are coerced into thinking of ourselves. They explore our connectedness, our action on each other, our operation as elixirs, our oneness...

  • Singing in the o of not
    Djelloul Marbrook
    Kill me, skin whispers / to arctic bone, / I’m finished / with this disguise…So begins the poem Blue Ampersand in Djelloul Marbrook’s tenth collection of poems, Singing in the O of Not, songs of algebraic obliteration in which our identities dissolve in the grandeur of a cosmic whole. Algebra, al jabara, means the joining in Arabic, and here the singer sings himself into divine...
