Publisher Comments

With both passion and precision, Lucifer at the Starlite explores life’s dual nature: good and evil, light and dark, suffering and moments of unexpected joy. Whether looking outward to events on the world stage — the war in Iraq, the 2004 Asian tsunami — or inward at struggles with the self, these poems aim at the heart and against the feeling that Lucifer may have already won the day.

from “Lucifer at the Starlite”
     Here’s my bright idea for life on earth:
     better management. The CEO
     has lost touch with the details. I’m worth
     as much, but I care; I come down here, I show
     my face, I’m a real regular. A toast:
     To our boys and girls in the war, grinding
     through sand, to everybody here, our host
     who’s mostly mist, like methane rising

Review

"Lucifer at the Starlitesounds like a glam-rock show and holds many poems that hurtle forward, filled with emotion that doesn't spill into sentimentality." San Francisco Chronicle

To our boys and girls in the war, grinding
through sand, to everybody here, our host
who's mostly mist, like methane rising

Synopsis

A lyrically intense fifth collection from 'one of the nation"s most provocative and edgy poets' (San Diego Union-Tribune).

I was quite thrilled when I first read some Addonizio poems in the wild, but when I started picking up her collections, I found myself less and less thrilled. The stylings make the poems not predictable but unsurprising, with requisite extremities and turns. A couple of poems held me through, but certainly not enough.
