The Eye Like a Strange Balloon by Mary Jo Bang
Brand: Grove Atlantic, Inc.
Product Description
The poems in The Eye Like a Strange Balloon find their seed in paintings film video photographs and collage and the end results are something more than a sum of their parts. Beginning with a painting done in 2003 the poems move backwards in time to 1 BC where an architectural fragment is painted on an architectural fragment highlighting visual arts strange relationship between the image and the thing itself. The total effect is exhilarating a wholly original personal take on art history coupled with Bangs sly and elegant commentary on poetrys enduring subjects Love Death Time and Desire. The recipient of numerous prizes and awards Bang stands at the front of American poetry with this new work asking more of the English language and enticing and challenging the reader.
