To And From (The New Series, 22, Band 22) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Poetry. African American Studies. Quilting, quoting, and sampling, Patterson sets a flux of impression, emotion, and articulation into vertiginous blank-verse sonnets. "The intention of these fine poems is to be found in the title TO AND FROM. Each poem is surrounded by an arcana of words (mostly commonplace) gleaned from other poets' poems, words that when strung together slide into the poem by Patterson himself. His poems are addressed to a mercurial, form-changing You. The result is paradoxically impersonal, transcending individual and place. One line captures the whole process: 'That loss you know might become anyone.'"--Fanny Howe.
