Review: Paradise Drive by Rebecca Foust

If you look Rebecca Foust's new poetry collection, Paradise Drive , Press 53, 2015, up on Amazon, you will notice that it is "frequently bought together" with Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf . Intrigued? You should be.

Paradise Drive is a small collection of narrative sonnets. We meet Pilgrim, Foust's protagonist, who is "A buzz-kill: dour, dry, dull". Pilgrim has left her home Read more of this blog post »

“Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.
Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.”

“You will write if you will write without thinking of the result in terms of a result, but think of the writing in terms of discovery, which is to say that creation must take place
between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting...

It will come if it is there and if you will let it come.”
― Gertrude Stein

If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line.

I see you have a very eclectic taste in books. from Rock n roll to Virginia Woolf. Can't say I agree with giving The Elegance of the Hedgehog five stars though. Really?
