4.9/5 (20271 ratings)

Description:A JAB OF DEEP URGENCY is a collection of 30 poems crafted during Found Poetry Review’s Pulitzer Remix project in 2013. Mined from the text of Jennifer Egan’s novel, A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD, these poems were all created using the erasure method (also known as blackout or whiteout) on various pages of the original text, resulting in a brand new narrative.Praise for A JAB OF DEEP URGENCY:“See, it’s mine” is a line from one of E. Kristin Anderson’s delicious found poems. Her source text is a Jenniger Egan novel and Ms. Anderson has made from those splendid pages something uniquely hers and equally satisfying. Did I mention I love this collection? I do.-- Ron Koertge, award-winning novelist and author of The Ogre’s Wife and IndigoWith and through Egan's text, Anderson speaks in a vivid and original voice. It's a 'staggering metamorphosis' (a phrase in the book) from one fully realized butterfly to another.-- Jessy Randall, author if Injecting Dreams into CowsFound poetry is a deceivingly challenging practice; working within a constrained vocabulary, poets must remake the text anew. In A Jab of Deep Urgency, Anderson carefully erases pieces of Egan’s text, leaving behind a dynamic, personal narrative made all the more remarkable because of the myriad voices represented in the original text. The poems, each remarkable in their own right, cohere into a perceptive commentary on the relationships people have with each other and the environments in which they live. -- Jenni B. Baker, editor-in-chief of The Found Poetry ReviewUsing the needle of poetry, Anderson extracts the emotive music in Jennifer Egan’s A Visit from the Goon Squad like an expert phlebotomist. Spare, dramatic, lyrical, and revealing, the poems in A Jab of Deep Urgency are strange and playful portraits of the exposed inner life. Confident without seeming cold, Anderson’s poems are as unique as the novel they were inspired by.-- Ada Limón, author of Lucky Wreck and Sharks in the RiversWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
