Jacket Blurb:
"This is a man after my own heart.
David writes exactly the kind of poems I would write if I could just write
shorter poems. He writes about real things in real words. He writes about the
people he grew up with, and they sound exactly like the same people we all grew
up with. But, somehow, out of all that feels so familiar and often so funny, he
draws your eye with seeming effortlessness
to the surprising and the poignant. He tells the stories we have been
overlooking in our lives."
--Jack McCarthy
Praise for David Surette:
"I LIKE HIS POEMS A
GOOD DEAL - they're sharp and lucid and look outward as well as inward. I can
hear them as human speech and I bet he reads them well out loud. They work on
the reader's or listener's pulse, the only true test as far as I'm (and also Mr.
Keats) concerned."
--Thomas Lux
"I
WAS LATE FOR WORK TODAY BECAUSE I PICKED UP THIS BOOK and it wouldn't let me go.
First it was a baby watching a monarch mobile in sunlight, then the pony that
wouldn't let the rider work out his frustrations, the smells in the car the guys
always used, the house where every room had a name. Fortunately, it's a small
book. I only missed one class."
--Michael Brown
"WHERE ARE THE EDGES, DANGEROUS AND BEAUTIFUL, that ask and answer?"
The edges David Surette searches for can be found in Muchers, Grinders,
Shapers, Hangers, Hackers, and Huns, his latest collection of poems. Surette
navigates language as surely as his daughter sits "The Tryout" pony.
This is poetry.
--Valerie Lawson
