Poetry, they say, is no longer relevant to the modern world, mortally wounded by the emergence of new media technologies. In Poetry Unbound, Mike Chasar rebuts claims that poetry has become a marginal art form, exploring how it has played a vibrant and culturally significant role by adapting to and shaping new media technologies in complex, unexpected, and...

17472) Late Summer Ode
Author
Language
English
Description
Davis's poems are empowering and vulnerable, honest and
embodied.
In Late Summer Ode, Olena Kalytiak Davis writes from
a heightened state of ambivalence, perched between past and present tensions.
With Chekovian humor and metered pathos, from a garden in Anchorage not pining
for Brooklyn, these poems "self-protest,-process,-recede." Davis is a
conductor of sound and meaning, precise to the syllable: a commanding talent in
contemporary poetry.
