Poetry. Tomaz Salamun wrote about Joshua Beckman's first book,
THINGS ARE HAPPENING (winner of the APR Honickman First Book Prize
in 1998), This book seduced me on the spot. I instantly started
longing to become friends with the world in it. It's fresh, it's
new, its fairness makes me grateful for reading it. Beckman's new
book, SOMETHING I EXPECTED TO BE DIFFERENT, traverses a space of
meditative consciousness and day to day life with an elated and
disjointed lyricism. The speakers in these long poems move through
a world awash with inconsistency and confusion, trying to make
sense of their surroundings and their desires. Joshua Beckman was
born in New Haven, Connecticut. He lives in Staten Island, New
York.
