Böcker av Jeremy Radin

Inspired by Lanford Wilson’s play Talley’s Folly, Jeremy Radin’s Dear Sal is a series of epistolary meditations on loneliness, longing, the Jewish diaspora, bewilderment, divinity, and love. Radin’s second collection lays bare a life lived in romantic exile, using the play’s events—one year after a brief but passionate affair, a man returns to a deserted boathouse on his beloved’s family property in order to offer himself to her—as the foundation for a mystifying interior stage, populated by a cast of eccentrics, upon which a man must wrestle, each moment, with his own unremitting desire.

Slow Dance with Sasquatch is an invitation into a private ballroom, a banquet hall in the middle of the woods. Here, you will sit and feast and waltz with your monsters. Here, you will harvest imagination from loneliness and longing. Here, you will coax laughter from the beasts' mouths. Here, the table is always fully loaded. Here, the cake is always warm, and no matter how much of it you eat, you will never stop being beautiful.Praise"Jeremy Radin writes beautiful poetry. His book, Slow Dance with Sasquatch is a roaring testament to the lonely sadness and sorrowful joy of what it means to be something grown that once was young..."- Anis Mojgani"I am jealous of Jeremy Radin. Jealous that he can reveal himself so fearlessly. Jealous that he can see the same world in ways that reach beyond my own imagination. You don't read these poems. You bathes in them."- Jorge Garcia, Actor
