This is a brutally realistic book of poetry. By immersing himself
in the particular details of his most meaningful moments, John Amen
transforms hurt into poems that are both imaginative and lyrically
expressive. With metaphoric daring and off-beat grace, he guides us
through haunting and sometimes violent memories of roving through
America's southland. Includes the 260 line poem-sequence "Portraits
of Mary", hailed by poet Jared Smith as "perhaps the most complex,
intricate, and thoroughly honest love poem in all of contemporary
poetry". A thoroughly human book of memorable poems of great
intensity by one of our best younger poets.
Poetry. THE NEW ARCANA is a multi-genre extravaganza featuring
verse, fiction, mock journalism and academic writing, drama, and
art. Both referencing and transcending various literary precedents,
the book is a pronouncement for the 21st Century, an exploration of
and commentary on the fast-paced and mercurial nature of life in
the 2000s. Co-written by poets John Amen and Daniel Y. Harris, the
book presents a compelling, jazz-like, and satirical style, a third
voice born from the mingling of two distinct individual voices. THE
NEW ARCANA is a memorable literary statement--a manifesto for our
time--as well as a proclamation regarding the transformative
qualities of true collaboration.
