Paul Hostovsky: Selected Poems brings together 120 poems from this
prolific, masterful, Pushcart Prize-winning poet's previous five
collections of poetry, Bending the Notes (2008), Dear Truth (2009),
A Little in Love a Lot (2011), Hurt Into Beauty (2012), and Naming
Names (2014). Of Hostovsky's work the Georgia Review has written:
"High-energy Paul Hostovsky, who makes his living as an interpreter
for the Deaf, has been making a lot of noise in the poetry
publishing world of late, with five full-length collections and six
poetry chapbooks in the past eight years. He is best known for his
use of humor in service of serious subject matter, his skill with
narrative, and his unpretentiously strong commitment to craft. Joe
Weil has written that 'Paul Hostovsky negotiates a territory not
far removed from the casual speaking style of Frank O'Hara and the
humor and simplicity of Paul Zimmer, but he is not a mere hybrid of
these two fine poets. He represents what is best about clarity in
poetry.' And Jeffrey Harrison, speaking of Hostovsky's work, has
said more succinctly, 'This book kicks ass.'"
In his fourth full-length collection of poetry, Paul Hostovsky
offers up the kind of fare that his readers keep coming back
for--the humor mixed with poignancy, the heartbreak lined with a
kind of palliative existential mischief--in poems that explore the
nature of violence, illness, beauty, childhood, Deaf people and
sign language, the art of love and the art of poetry.
A politically-neutral collection of poetry, prose, and art inspired
by the 2008 United States Presidential Election. Contributions from
a Grammy award nominee, a National Endowment for the Arts
Fellowship winner, Pushcart award nominees and winners, writers
from various continents, university professors, professional
artists, and some amateurs too.
