Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Poetry. Part confession, part tirade, part commentary, Justin Marks' third poetry collection THE COMEDOWN, is a riveting, taut exploration into the toxic matrix of masculinity, capitalism, illness, the doldrums of perceived mediocrity, and the travails of the restless, seeking mind. Like a di…amond drill bit, Marks bores into the heart of the matter: dissolution of the self, of marriage, of fatherhood, of youth, of the ego with precision, humor, and unflinching candor to expose stark beauty in a life lived hard despite its accumulated traumas and vices. His singular voice contends with the universality of existential dread without artifice or grandeur, but rather in the most intimate, nearly imperceptible moments that render us human--fallible, but full of grace.--Su HwangWhat a moving and unusual book THE COMEDOWN is! A long poem, or perhaps a memoir in verse, or a dramatic monologue, it is both playful and yet revealing, honest and philosophical, formally innovative and yet direct. Marks shows us human life from childhood to parenthood, from loneliness to marriage: 'We struggle / We love each other.' At the center of this work, the unforgettable image of a young child watching his father accidentally light himself on fire. From there, the contradictions come: 'The reason to stay / is the desire to leave.' And from contradiction comes wisdom: 'reality is the best / metaphor for reality.' Comes poetry: 'Text becoming body.' Comes transformation. How Because Justin Marks is willing to be vulnerable, he is able to question what poetry can do--what language itself can do--to depict the drama of the human mind: 'a disordered mind / is its own / order.' Indeed. Herein contradiction challenges the form, makes the poet search for new forms, makes out of fragments a transformation.--Ilya Kaminsky.
