À propos de ce contenu audio
“Reading Jill Bialosky’s poems feels like taking a slow and lone journey into the depth of the human heart, yet all the while being accompanied and guided by an intimate voice.” —Yiyun Li
Bialosky’s poems, “always intently alive with lyrical truths” (Yusef Komunyakaa), weave tragedy, language, and perception in poignant works of personal and public exploration. In Mock Heart, a powerful gathering of her work thus far, she opens with a cache of searing new poems and proceeds backward in time through selections from her five previous collections. We move from lyric sections of the acclaimed Asylum, a work that reveals personal and historical traumas and how we search for understanding in their wake, to the folly of The Players, about a son’s maturing into manhood in a space of intimate wonder, to Intruder, a haunting exploration of passion and its myths, to Subterranean, a book of maternal yearning, and finally we arrive back at her debut, The End of Desire, probing the mysteries of girlhood, premonitions of loss, and the temptations and challenges of becoming.
A poet of quiet daring and lyric mastery, one who delves into the spaces where desire blooms, Bialosky is never content to rest on the laurels of the beauty she finds around her. Throughout her journey, sorrow and loss as well as joy feed the earned wisdom that finished poems will bestow.
Commentaires
"To read Jill Bialosky’s Mock Heart: New & Selected Poems is to explore the lyric opulence of a life lived at the nexus of beauty and its blood sister, loss. Beginning with the most recent poems, sharp-edged, elegantly crafted, and wise, we transcend retrospectively toward the earliest work, plumbing the origin story via “time’s strange, mysterious alienation”—seasonal time, erotic time, interiority’s whirling facets, beauty, impromptu and fleeting, and grief-without-end. On those nights in which I doubt poetry’s efficacy, I will turn to this collection to arrive again at the last poem’s final line— “I was afraid”—and to feel in alliance with that austere vulnerability. Mock Heart leads us all the way to the very real heart of a palpable human being." —Diane Seuss, author of frank: sonnets and Modern Poetry
"Jill Bialosky’s brilliant poems celebrate things of this world with an intense clarity that links them to the mind that bears griefs along with joys. Her vision is of the world’s beauties and cruelties existing side by side, earthly wonders along with far-reaching violence, madness, and injustice. It’s the beauties that remain, as in the lyrical sonnets at the start of the book. Bialosky ranges in her accurate observations of daily life, though her deepest concern is the human heart. I reach for this book in these troubled times." —Grace Schulman, author of Again, the Dawn: New and Selected Poems
