Summary:
"A landmark collection of poetry by acclaimed fiction writer, translator, and MacArthur Fellow
John
Keene
, Punks: New & Selected Poems is a generous treasury in seven sections that spans decades and includes previously unpublished and brand new work. With depth and breadth, Punks weaves together historic narratives of loss, lust, and love. The many voices that emerge in these poems--from historic Black personalities, both familial and famous, to the poet's friends and lovers in gay bars and bedrooms--form a cast of characters capable of addressing desire, oppression, AIDS, and grief through sorrowful songs that "we sing as hard as we live." At home in countless poetic forms, Punks reconfirms
John
Keene
as one of the most important voices in contemporary poetry."--Publisher's webpage.
