商品簡介
From Will Alexander, finalist for the 2022 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, a new collection of poems from the intersection between surrealism and afro-futurism, where Csaire meets Sun Ra. Divine Blue Light further affirms Alexanders status as one of the most unique and innovative voices in contemporary poetry.Since the 1980s, the Los Angeles-based Alexander has mixed politics with mesmeric, oracular lines.The New York TimesAgainst the ruins of a contemporary globalist discourse, which he denounces as a lingual theocracy of super-imposed rationality, Will Alexanders poems constitute an alternative cartography that draws upon omnivorous readingin subjects from biology to astronomy to history to philosophyamalgamating their diverse vocabularies into an impossible instrument only he can play. Divine Blue Light is anchored by three major works: the opening Condoned to Disappearance, a meditation on the heteronymic exploits of Portuguese modernist Fernando Pessoa; the closing Imprecation as Mirage, a poem channeling an Indonesian man; and the title poem, an anthemic ode to the jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. Other key pieces include Accessing Gertrude Bell, a critique of one of the designers of the modern state of Iraq; Deficits: Cham Soutine & Joan Mir, in homage to two Jewish artists forced to flee the Nazi invasion of France; and According to Stellar Scale, a compact lyric that traveled to space with astronaut Sian Proctor. The newest installment in our Pocket Poets Series, Divine Blue Light confirms Alexanders status among the foremost surrealists writing in English today.Praise for Divine Blue Light:These surrealist and Afrofuturist poems examine politics, globalism, and the powers and limitations of language, while paying tribute to artists forced to flee the Nazi invasion of France.Maya Popa,Publishers WeeklyThe 'invisible current' Will Alexander channels in the meteoric poems of Divine Blue Light is not surreal escape but vibrational engagementan engagement with the infinite streams of the heart of being.Jeffrey Yang, author of Line and LightLike agua tilting itself into a god, Wills texts suffuse the horizon of Poetry with the abstract purity of their oceanic movements, sun-condensing, dissolving seemingly endless sight into a disappearing instant of the Miraculous. Divine Blue Light exists by what it exudes.Carlos Lara, author of Like Bismuth When I Enter
