Brutal Imagination PA (English Edition) Kindle版
価格 | 新品 | 中古品 |
Finalist for the National Book Award in Poetry
Brutal Imagination is the work of a poet at the peak of his considerable powers, confronting a crucial subject: the black man in America.
“A hymn to all the sons this country has stolen from her African-American families.”—The Village Voice
This poetry collection explores the vision of the black man in white imagination, as well as the black family and the barriers of color, class, and caste that tear it apart. These two main themes showcase Cornelius Eady’s range: his deft wit, inventiveness, and skillfully targeted anger, and the way in which he combines the subtle with the charged, street idiom with elegant inversions, harsh images with the sweetly ordinary.
Includes poems that inspired the libretto for Eady’s music-drama Running Man, a 1999 Pulitzer Prize finalist.

著者について

From Publishers Weekly
Best known for outlining the nameless figures of old-time city life in a style that, like Charles Simic's, is at once realistic and abstract, Eady, in his seventh collection, boldly takes up the persona of the imaginary black criminal who Susan Smith invented to take the blame for the drowning of her children. "When called, I come," Eady writes. "My job is to get things done." Rather than launching a direct attack on racial injustice, Eady, in the series of poems that comprise the book's first part, makes this Frankenstein's monster into a secret sharer, bound to sit by the suspect's side and shed an invisible tear. "Why do wives and children seem to attract me?" he asks with chilling na?vet?. These poems resemble Ai's monologues of history and headline, an urgent tabloid origami that takes the lurid and the sensational and rediscovers in them the essentially tragic. In the book's second part, "The Running Man Poems," the hero is again a black criminal, one who starts out a bookish prodigy and somehow winds up conceiving of himself as an outlaw, one whose crimes are little more than spearing insects until, we are given to infer, he kills his lover with a razor and buries her in the pines. In both series, poems of secret perspective contemplate the flawed strength of men as imagined through the medium of women. Their brutal subjects and diction work extraordinarily well in opening strange, brutal hearts to the reader. (Jan. 15) Forecast: This book seems designed to reach beyond habitual readers of poetry, but Susan Smith may be too long out of the headlines to generate the kind of media interest needed for it to break out. More progressive high schools, however, might seize on it for generating discussions, despite a few four-letter words and the disturbing themes.

Praise for Cornelius Eady and Brutal Imagination

“Eady fuses headlines and history with language that is a field holler, a blues shout, a hip hop rap that combusts inside the soul and keep on burning.”—Bebe Moore Campbell
“A hymn to all the sons this country has stolen from her African-American families.”—The Village Voice --このテキストは、kindle_edition版に関連付けられています。

Book Description
Brutal Imagination is the work of a poet at the peak of his considerable powers. Its two central sections-which could be called song cycles-confront the same subject: the black man in America.
The first, which carries the book's title, deals with the vision of the black man in white imagination. Narrated largely by the black kidnapper that Susan Smith invented to cover up the killing of her two sons, the cycle displays all of Mr. Eady's range: his deft wit, inventiveness, and skillfully targeted anger, and the way in which he combines the subtle with the charged, street idiom with elegant inversions, harsh images with the sweetly ordinary.
The second cycle, "Running Man," presents poems Mr. Eady drew on for his libretto for the music-drama of the same name, which was a l999 Pulitzer Prize finalist. Here, the focus is the black family and the barriers of color, class, and caste that tear it apart. As the Village Voice said, "It is a hymn to all the sons this country has stolen from her African- American families."

Compassionate and Stunning
2015年5月24日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
A stunning book. Absolutely brilliantly done. I usually don't cry reading poetry, but this book was very emotional. Cornelius does an amazing job of telling the story of a mother and the terrible thing she did. He treats her with compassion and actually at times makes me feel deeply compassionate for her; not just disgusted by her blaming...

Straight forward
2018年12月15日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Poetry that is not belabored by imagery or metaphors is good to me. This was straight forward story-telling poetry. It was dealing with dark imagery but poetry does if you deal with racism head on.

Fantastic

I was more in love with the first part of the book than the second. Both parts are fictional, yet the first part is based on the case of Susan Smith and her children. Eady has a fantastic way with words and shows the treatment of a race painfully well. I could read this over and over.
