Sweet Ruin (Brittingham Prize in Poetry)by Tony Hoagland
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Tony Hoagland captures the recognizably American landscape of a man of his generation: sex, friendship, rock and roll, cars, and disillusion. With what Robert Pinsky has called 'the saving vulgarity of American poetry, ' Hoagland's small biographies of destruction reveal that defeat is a natural prelude to grace and loss a kind of threshold to freedom. Synopsis:Tony Hoagland's poems sparkle with effervescence, a jujitsu cleverness — a "wise-guy" aesthetic. Through unexpected subjects ranging from the boy who speaks only in "Kung Fu" dialogue, to a man visiting a lesbian bar, Hoagland gives a sense of finally being able to say the truth about the credentials of manhood. About the AuthorTony Hoagland has published three chapbooks of poetry—History of Desire, A Change in Plans, and In Gratitude for Talk—and contributed to the anthologies New American Poets of the 90’s, The Best of Crazyhorse, and The Pushcart Anthology 1991. He now lives in Waterville, Maine. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
