Jump Soul: New and Selected Poems by Charlie Smith (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Jump Soul by Charlie Smith Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A stunning collection from a poet who "writes with a scalding aortal brilliance that leaves the reader drunk on dream" (New York Times Book Review). Publisher Description Selecting from among Charlie Smiths seven previous collections and including more than forty astonishing new poems, Jump Soul represents work from the career of a poet who "writes with a scalding aortal brilliance that leaves the reader drunk on dream" (New York Times Book Review). From the lush Southern landscapes of Red Roads (1987) and the haunted longing of Heroin (2000) to the bold eroticism of Women of America (2004) and, most recently, the fresh and exuberant Word Comix (2009), Smith reminds us "that we dont really know what beauty is until weve looked hard at the horror that throws beauty into bright relief" (David Kirby, New York Times). Beauty in Smiths poetry is mixed with harrowing darkness; it is "the rescued returned to the floods / and fruit pickers, those who catch beauty / aflight on the sweet-smelling breeze, authentic characters / messed up, dead on the floor / of western motels, crapped out jinxed, lost / to the boulevards." Smith is a poet of "shimmering energy" (Mary Oliver). His work, brutal in its honesty and stunning in its lyricism, is represented in all of its extraordinary range in this new collection. From "Collected First Lines" Im sure there is meaning, and I know its sometimes more interesting to stand in a road than to move along it, though even this, said with such confidence just a minute ago, explains nothing. Author Biography Charlie Smith is the author of eight previous poetry collections, eight novels, and a book of novellas. He has won a Guggenheim Fellowship and a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts, among other honors. He lives in New York City.
