Hardcover. NY, Norton, 1st, 2021, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. A dark, no-holds-barred, and often hilarious collection from a prize-winning poet, veering between the poles of self and world. Kim Addonizio's sharp and irreverent eighth volume, Now We're Getting Somewhere, is an essential companion to your practice of the Finnish art of kalsarikannit-drinking at home, alone in your underwear, with no intention of going out. Imbued with the poet's characteristic precision and passion, the collection charts a hazardous course through heartache, climate change, dental work, Outlander, semiotics, and more. Combatting existential gloom with a wicked, seductive energy, Addonizio investigates desire, loss, and the madness of contemporary life. She calls out to Walt Whitman and John Keats, echoes Dorothy Parker, and finds sisterhood with Virginia Woolf.Sometimes confessional, sometimes philosophical, these poems weave from desolation to drollery and clamor with raucous imagery: an insect in high heels, a wolf at an uncomfortable party, a glowing and self-serious guitar.

From rear cover: "From Kenneth Rexroth to the Czechoslovakian secret police, from Marianne Moore to the F.B.I., from Diana Trillling to Time magazine - Allen Ginsberg's work has always drawn a spirited response. Now, for the first time, these responses - remarks, reviews, and essays - have been collected in a single volume. Beginning with William Carlos Williams's early letters of support and ending with James Breslin's biographical analysis of 'The Origins of Howl and Kaddish', this collection reflects a full thirty years of praise, complaint, debate, and analysis of the work of one of the most innovative poets of our century".

His language, his subject matter, his sensibility are there to remind us that 'we really inhabit / the holy body of God,' that we are all 'hungry ghosts / all of us." Ultimately, Byrd's book is about the community Byrd has learned to embrace--his book is a work that pays homage to those who have formed him--his neighbors, his children, his wife, the poets whose voices still urge him to write. This is a book for everybody." --Benjamin Alire Saenz. Small name on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.
