Mules of Love (American Poets Continuum) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's not often we get to read poetry that is immediately accessible, immediately relevant. In deeply touching, powerful language Ellen Bass tells us stories that make us stop, breathe and consider our lives. We see a deer in a bubble bath, an eighty-six year old rediscovering his sexual essence and a woman comforted by a quiet nap shared with an anonymous seatmate on a plane. As the events of the day lie, telling us we are separate and different, Ellen Bass' poetry shows us the truth -- worldwide, never have we been more as one.

Mule (New Poetry) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Mule" is one of the most impressive debuts by a young American poet in recent memory. It deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Ilya Kaminsky's staggering collection, though McCrae's is more formally innovative and syntactically daring. Through break-neck enjambment and repetition of phrase, "Mule" is simultaneously an incantation and a stirring lament, obsessively excavating his subject matter: questions of identity, transcendence, and the challenges of trying to construct a good living out of the shards of brokenness.
Shane McCrae is a much-needed voice in contemporary poetry, as his poems are both heartbreaking and inspiring. This book will leave you both hurting and healing, in places you never knew you could feel.
