商品簡介
If you tore off the tops of canola
yellow canola flowers would you
jump in a tub of canola margarine
just to make the best of despair?
Implored by concerned readers to be classy’ and real’ for once, David McGimpsey has composed a sequence of canonical note-books on all things poetic’ and poetical.’ Birds! Flowers! History! Sad leaders! The word aubade’! They’re all here, in a serial, State Fairbound collection of lyrics set in the working-class belvedere of Asbestos Heights.
Among the refreshing lemon-lime sodas of the world and the rousing lyrics to Bootylicious,’Asbestos Heights amps up McGimpsey’s trademark sideswiping of formal rhetoric and prosody with pop savoir faire to ?nd his boldest collection. Imagine Petrarch in a Tweet war about where to buy a good pair of dad jeans. Imagine Yeats but with a lot fewer swans. Imagine a poet who was told long ago that nothing good ever comes out of a place like Asbestos Heights.
'David McGimpsey is unfuckwithable, poetry-wise, and I'll stand on John Ashbery's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.' Michael Robbins
