They are meditations and provocations. They are messages received from the chatter of the street and from transmissions as distant as Memphis and al-Mansur. Bulletins and interruptions come from brutal elsewheres and from the interior where music puts electrodes on the body to take an EKG. These poems visit high schools, laundromats, motels, films, and dreams in order to measure the American hunger and thirst. They are interested in the things we profess to hold most dear as well as whats unspoken and unbidden. While were driving, while riding a bus, while receiving a call, while passing through an X-ray machine, the personal is intersectedsometimes violently, sometimes tenderlywith the hum and buzz of the culture. The culture, whether New York or Tuscaloosa, Seattle or Philadelphia, past or present, carries the burden of race and 8220;someones idea of beauty. 8221; The poems fluctuate between the two poles of 8220;lullaby and homicide8221; before taking a vow to remain on earth, to look right and left, to wait and to witness. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Poetry.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85103704 650 7 Poetry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1067691 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Poetry.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/ gf2014026481 655 7 Poetry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423828 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSmith, Bruce, 1946-|tDevotions.|dChicago ; London : The University of Chicago Press, 2011 |z9780226764351|w(DLC) 2010027119|w(OCoLC)645708485 830 0 Phoenix poets.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n42034948 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=362330|zOnline eBook.
