Narration During Books Rain on the River: Selected Poems and Short Prose
Chapbooks, musings, poetry, and prose by a folklorist with a "wonderful imagination, eye for detail and command of language" (Publishers Weekly).While Jim Dodge is internationally known for his fiction, his first and abiding passion is poetry. After eighteen years of publishing anonymously and only reading to local crowds in the Pacific Northwest, he began to issue occasional limited-edition letterpress chapbooks, as well as occasional broadsides and, since 1987, a Winter Solstice poem or story, most given as gifts to friends.
Rain on the River contains his work collected here for the first time, as well as three dozen previously unpublished poems. Dodge's verse and short prose offer the same pleasures as his fiction--a splendid ear for language, great emotional range and subtlety, a sharp eye for the illuminating detail, and a sensibility that encompasses outright hilarity, savage wit, and tender marvel, all made eminently accessible through writing of uncompromising clarity and grace. "Jim's words are his gift to the world. His life is his art; his words are merely tokens of appreciation. Reading the poems and short prose . . . makes me happy to be alive. . . . Mine's a happiness born from the revelation that 'money and food and poetry [are] ways to live, not reasons," as Jim puts it" (Sacramento News & Review).

Восхитительно, нифига не поняла (кроме пары штук), ощущение, что посмотрел авангардисткий модный фильм - вроде красиво, но что это было?) Но иногда прям хорошо. Находка любвиПосле взрыва в Оклахома-ситисобак-спасателейсвезли самолетами вместе с кинологамисо всех Штатов.Но когда собаки не смогли найтини одного выжившего,они впали в уныние,и после очередного дня без единогоживого спасенного,даже если собаки искали,все было без особого толку.И тогда кинологи принялись по очередипрятаться в руинах,Nothing like a story about your dog getting its balls stuck in a bathtub drain to lighten your day.
Jim Dodge is an American novelist and poet whose works combine themes of folklore and fantasy, set in a timeless present. He has published three novels, Fup, Not Fade Away and Stone Junction and a collection of poetry and prose, Rain on the River. Dodge was born in 1945 and grew up as an Air Force brat. As an adult he spent many years living on an almost self-sufficient commune in West SonomaGreat poems about life and nature, and life in nature. Also a couple about dogs and aliens, for good measure.Dodge's _Fup_ is one of the best books I've read this year, so finding his poetry was an exciting thing. He has a great ear and an even better voice.
как ответ на то, что верлибр - это не стихи. почитайте доджа з дождём. отлично про то, когда можно убивать живое и то, где не надо жить. если у него такая поэзия - то какая же проза? must read
There's magic in these pages, not much but it's there. The least of all Jim Dodge's works. There's a lot of hippy twaddle here. Still it's Jim Dodge and when he hits it, he hits it like no other
good book! his chapbooks have been compiled into this volume and made available to those who don't live in the northern california environs where the limited editions were originally released. Be sure to read Stone Junction!
April is poetry month!
