Produktbeschreibungen

From Kirkus Reviews

Selected by Rodney Jones and published in conjunction with The Crab Orchard Review, Duhamels latest collection is exuberant in a breathless, inarticulate wayshes happy to mock herself in these mostly autobiographical poems as ditsy and unsophisticated, though more than a little class resentment lies beneath the insouciance. Many of Duhamels chatty and circular narratives concern her husband, whose wealthy Asian background leads to all sorts of comic confusion and cultural dissonance. Watching Nick at Nite with her husband Nick, she explains all the pop culture references and he shares his memories of TV in the Philippines; in Yes, she tries to understand his stoicism with the help of a guide to Filipino etiquette; in Bangungot, she dreams of him dying from a condition common to Filipino men; and in Husband as a Second Language, she lists his malapropisms. She admires her dignified father-in-law, who mocks the common tourists in Europe (Cockroaches), and also grows to appreciate her husbands knowledge of European art (Art), which she feels ambivalent about because of her working class background. Misunderstanding is at the center of many of Duhamels flighty poems: the title piece takes off from her childhood mishearing of the lyrics to the national anthem; another chronicles her misadventures buying tampons in Spain. Duhamel displays her candor with pieces about masturbating to Playboy photos; anal sex and an outraged minister; and her exhilaration at a Spanish nude beach. All personality and pose, these jokey poems are quickly forgotten. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Pressestimmen

"Duhamel’s careful yet freewheeling musings employ a seamlessly shifting digital palette of techniques, devices, and tones, all in the service of a poet able to maintain distance yet remain engaged and human. She is much like this last-call century of ours, searching for the point from which to take a running leap to a new kind of poetry. The playfulness, the quirky self-consciousness, the roll-up-your-sleeves-and-fight examination of the self, and the casual anecedotal quality of Duhamel’s lines go a long way to make these poems a pleasure."—Rain Taxi



"Filled with lyric, narrative, and prose poems, this collection underscores Duhamel’s versatility. For this she has received accolades and descriptions befitting Rosie O’Donnell at one end of the spectrum and Walt Whitman at the other. . . . Walking with Duhamel is a powerful way to spend some time. Whether she maneuvers with zany humor or the kind of humor that holds terror at bay, you can count on a laugh. You can also count on a fearless and compassionate spirit willing to shine a merciful light on social issues."—Cæsura



"Denise Duhamel will make even the sourest sour puss chuckle. . . . Duhamel adds levity to the painful and the all-American and the personal. May she charm her readership with her insights."—Poet Lore

 

"[W]hat unites these poems is a strong sense of a speaker, who is smart and witty, who lapses into moments of insecurity, and who, most importantly, is a poet.  It is that perspective which gives these poems a unique appeal."—Indiana Review

 

"[S]o overwhelming is her relish for life that embarrassment, or titillation when the subject is sexual, just doesn't stand a chance. Life-affirming without being treacly, Duhamel is a character who assures us the world is full of character."—Booklist

An Ocean Between 21. April 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Duhamel's book can get a little prosaic, and yet poems like Stranger are so true in their voice and emotion maybe everyone should just take a valium and enjoy this fabulous foray into pop culture and marriage and old age and abusive relationships and feminine protection (here and in Spain!). What unabashed fun--she gets to drop Molly Peacock's name and talk about Nick at Nite. Pick it up at the book store and read the touching "Stranger" and then read the wild "Another Poem Called 'Sphincter'" Who else is going to give you that kind of variety?

Best Poet of the Decade! 28. November 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
My favorite poems in the book are "Insomnio", "Art", "Star Spangled Banner", and all the rest. This poet is showing us what the coming century will bring to American poetry--an intelligent, self-assured voice that speaks to the heart and soul, to the Apollonian and Dionysian sides of human experience. Ms. Duhamel is ahead of her time.

Better than most 11. November 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
I like Denise Duhamel's poems; I really do. I like the fact that she writes about real things in real time, and I like her energy. But she's kinda sloppy, and could use some self-editing. Not too much -- all that aggressive blab is what's fun about her -- but I think she's in danger of becoming a caricature of herself. Time to learn some new tricks?
