Nine years in the making, award-winning poet Kevin Connolly’s new
collection extends its author’s investigation of identity,
authority, intention, and authenticity. What is public poetry? In
an age of tweets and trolls, what should it even try to be? Through
revision, redaction, ventriloquism, homage, self-sabotage, and
outright plunder, the poems in Connolly’s Xiphoid Process
interrogate the alleged futility and alleged insight of mid-life.
Are we who we are simply because we’d otherwise be nothing? Or
are we (more hopefully) something parked, for a time, in time,
trying to make something useful out of the experience? Walt
Whitman, Tom Petty, Alec Baldwin, Doug Stanhope, Journey, Judd
Nelson, Billy Ripken, Johnny Weissmuller, Don Felder, Lindsay
Lohan, Shiprock, NM, the police blotter at Point Reyes Station,
California, and the moons of Saturn are all poised to make their
case in the poet’s latest deliberations.
