Poetry. "What a joyful and intricate exhibit of the love of language, here in BOTH POEMS. After I Am You , nothing would work but both. Learn what metaphors aren't and how autobiographies can be and not be"—Bernadette Mayer.
Anne Tardos's "Both Poems" (Roof Books, 2011) is one of the most brilliant books of poetry I have read in many years. With her Mitteleuropean background, long collaboration with the late Jackson Mac Low, deeply internalized relationship to philosophy and psychology, she has produced a work that strips away so many layers of B.S. from the world and lays bare an aphoristic landscape that all Tell It Like It Is. You must pick up this book immediately.
