First Course In Turbulence
| Dean Young
| With rapid shifts between subject and tone, sometimes within single poems, Dean Young's latest book explores the kalcidoscopie welter of art and life. Here parody does not exclude the cri de cocur any more than seriousness excludes the joke. With surrealist volatility, these poems are the result of experiments that continue for the reader during cach reading. Young moves from reworkings of creation myths, the index of the Norton Anthology of Poetry, psendo reports and memos, collaged biographies, talking clouds, and worms, to memory, mourning, sevual playfulness, and deep sadness in the course of this turbulent book.
