Anton Yakovlev

4.9/5 (28464 ratings)

Description:Anton Yakovlev’s The Ghost of Grant Wood is insistently contemporary, yet timeless. Yakovlev is immersed in the best of our poetic traditions from surrealism to formalism, and all his poems display verve in language, imagery, form, and, most of all, ideas.—A.M. JusterGiven the crackling wit and almost-surreal drollery of these poems, one might not expect the exquisite tenderness of “In Memoriam” or the poignant, short-story-like nature of “The Gift,” but there they are. Just remember, though, that this is also a world where serial killers are blandly at home for Thanksgiving dinner, and the family is fine—just fine. A sparkling collection from an exciting new poet.—Len Krisak“I nod and clasp your hand but know I’ve failed / to grasp your zeitgeist. Plus it’s getting late.” Playful, serious, and generous, The Ghost of Grant Wood is a spectacular volume of poetry. Like Joseph Brodsky, Yakovlev carefully balances the surreal with the all-too-real, weaving the reader into his vision with art and intimacy. We see ourselves in The Ghost of Grant Wood viewed slightly aslant, in an unsuspected light: a point of time that will remain and leave us rubbing our eyes with disbelief.—Eric Thomas NorrisWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
