For Karen Garthe, poetry is a Molotov cocktail. A master of radical
invention, Garthe combines brio of conception with linguistic
virtuosity, bringing language to new life from the inside at
breakneck speed. "The Banjo Clock", her second collection,
cultivates a luxuriant sensibility even as it interrupts poetic
continuity with cuts, ironies, sharp wit, and wild recklessness. In
poems that consider poetry itself, Garthe writes about preparing
the medium, the ink, "the motion of new utility". She then turns to
America's psychic maladies and the need to rehabilitate our
democracy, now floundering in the glare of TV's blue depressive
light.
