Guide to Native Beastsby Mary Quade
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Though Mary Quade's world in these quirkily meditative poems is populated
with sundry native beasts — from bats and horses to a neon chicken that
squawks electric — it becomes clear that the creature that most galvanizes
her imagination is the human beast itself. Accordingly, she plumbs and
explores (implicating herself in the doing) the various poignancies of our
longings, as well as our gloved fists and hidden cold deeds, our blight
of good intentions....The result is my favorite kind of book — attentive to the things of this world while remaining inherently philosophical." Stephen
Dunn Review:"Mary Quade's point of view is uniquely hers — linguistically inventive,
edgily understated, poised and uncompromising. Nothing deflects her from
rendering the relentless way we lurch forward, arms crossed, spreading
damage like Edward Teller, wanting a crater, some fallout to measure....Welcome to this new voice skillfully and mercifully calling us to account." Marilyn Krys Review:"With Guide to Native Beasts, Mary Quade hits a sweet spot in poetic
balance, consistently demonstrating keen introspection." Vikas Turakhia,
The Cleveland Plain Dealer Review:"Whether writing about a giant fiberglass cow or bathtub-haloed lawn
shrines, Quade's poems have great clarity and revelatory power; they are
accomplished, powerful, and politically engaging to boot. It's a hell of a
first book." Marc Sheehan What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
