Description
The Popular Vote by Star Black (Saturnalia Books, paperback)
Publication Date: March 15, 2019
Publisher Marketing: Dazzling new poems by Star Black. A shocked, funny, tender despondency ripples through Star Black’s new collection as it cartwheels from the newspaper headlines after Donald Trump’s 2016 victory to the intimacy of personal elegy. A spirited examination, THE POPULAR VOTE moves with casual spontaneity and verve, pressuring language into a performance of surprising, invigorating movements across syntax and line. From meditations on love, skyscapes, and cultural and personal loss, the poems in THE POPULAR VOTE reach out to the sleep-deprived majority of Americans who are governed by a president they didn’t vote for. The result is a poetry collection full of vision and insight.
