The Late Parade: Poems [Paperback]

Aswirl with waking dreams and phantom memories,Fitzgeralds voice is a new and welcome sound in the aviary of contemporary poetry.David Kirby, Adam Fitzgerald is a master of defeating expectations so as to fulfill them farther along. One has the feeling of climbing higher along a path that is giving way under ones feet, in pursuit always of a waltz on our breath. Yet the rhythmic and consonant commotion of these poems ends in joy. This is a dazzling debut. Wildly alive with the grit and glue of broken objects and the noise of lost things. You can count on the immense care he takes in putting music back into the world. You can count on the fact this is a book we will read for years to come. Released from the plod of workaday logics and handed over to the flow of their own becoming, the poems in May be the beginning of a great career. US
