Ken Babstock’s Swivelmount

Description

Swivelmount by Ken Babstock (Coach House Books, paperback)

Publication Date: October 13, 2020

Publisher Marketing: Swivelmount’s concerns – the collapse of subject and world, eros and law, knowledge and bafflement – gain new urgency as Babstock fiercely reimagines and reassembles the remnants into a viable order. At the core of their kinetic imagery is a freefall into mourning, but also a faith in others: a Babstock poem is the voice next to you in the ER waiting room, becalmed, compassionate, darkly humorous. This is Babstock at his best.
