The unillusioned and effervescent new collection by David
Rivard, whose poetry “leaves me with a desire to be permanently friends
with this mysterious kind of grace.” —Tomaz Salamun |
Price: $14.00 USD
In Sugartown, David Rivard’s fourth collection, the poems
unwind with speed and urgency, detailing with mischievous humor and
fierce candor an American dailiness in which information and
merchandise pass over us in continual feed. Rivard shows us the
life we live now, and its costs, while offering in these poems the
alternative of being awake and attentive—to one’s self, to others, to
the seemingly misbegotten world. His associative, inclusive lyrics are
wild forays into the frustrated but still hopeful imagination, tested
daily by product placement, unmitigated desires, injustices, and the
slipstream of voices and dreams.
