Dancing after the Donkey Speaks
Tony Hoaglands new book, What Narcissism Means to Me from Graywolf Press, is almost perfect. From the conversational beginnings, where he shares a beer on a summer porch, to the last poem (reprinted on the back page of the American Poetry Review Nov-Dec issue) every poem sings sweet truth.
The thoughts here arent everyday- but he makes them sound as if they are. He doesnt hold himself up by some MFA bootstrap, lording his poetic density over your head like an anvil, he points out direction as if saying "Look- did you see that? Amazing, isnt it!" He limns carefully crafted images while never letting you see how hard he must have worked to make things seem so simple.
highly recommended- *****
