Bøker av Matthew Rohrer

Poetry. In this follow-up collection to the National Poetry Series winner A Hummock in the Malookas, Rohrer's poems play against convention, finding dark, surreal underpinnings in the seemingly innocent objects and experiences of everyday life. Direct, humorous and disquieting, SATELLITE demonstrates the unique sensibility of this important young poet. "The surface ease and playfulness of these poems belie their seriousness. In language as clean and surprising as that of dreams, they skate out onto the thin ice of consciousness. Actually, as my grandmother would have put it, they don't skate on thin ice; they skate on cold water. They're smart, inventive, and sneakily profound"--Chase Twichell.

Poems that speak the literal language of dreams.

Exploring quirky perspectives on truth, a critically acclaimed collection of poetry explores a landscape of skewed realities in which the impossible becomes familiar. Winner of the 1994 National Poetry Series.
