Böcker av Daniel Lawless

In joy and terror all at once, the shining elegies and buoyant lovepoems of I Tell You This Now by Daniel Lawless unfold. Lawlesshas the uncanny ability to create piercing elegies that behave liketender breakup poems. His love poems are no less sublime. (Afterminutely describing a farmer's vintage tools, he dissolves them tolingerie... The result is a love poem that ends both very far yet veryclose indeed to those historical implements.) One of the deeppleasures of reading I Tell You This Now is that you never knowquite where you're going until you get there. And getting theremeans getting it: the shock of gorgeous and gruesome recognitionin each upturned world in Daniel Lawless's remarkable poems.-Molly Peacock
