Description
2001 Winner of the APR/Honickman First Book Prize, chosen by Adrienne Rich. As its title suggests, Ed Pavlic’s *Paraph of Bone & Other Kinds of Blue* seeks a glow at the deeper end of the spectrum, an exuberant flourish at the core of who we are. The poems, at once, vamp and whisper the supple harmony and lush dissonance of human connections, intimate and erotic, psychological, historical, familial, cultural.
Description
In her introduction Adrienne Rich describes Paraph of Bone & Other Kinds of Blue as "a fully conceived book, speaking as a whole from the first lines to the last. ... Mr. Pavlic has listened closely to our most profound American art, the blues and jazz, and that music has not only helped him achieve poetic form but allowed him to explore a mesh of experience extraneous to literary theories. ... This is intimate and soulful work, breathing, brushing, and tonguing its instrument." In response to Charlie Parker's theory of art, "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn", Ed Pavlic breathes exuberant life into his poetry through rigorous attention to overlapping facets of language -- visual, tonal, rhythmic.
