Infos

A groundbreaking collection from one of our most acclaimed young poets about personal loss and consumer anxiety in the American suburbs.In the wake ofthe critical success of The Late Parade (poetry as lush as any of Keatss odes, New York Times Book Review), Adam Fitzgeralds George Washington follows in the documentary poetics tradition of William Carlos Williamss In the American Grain and Susan Howes My Emily Dickinson. These frenetic poems channel the proper names and product placement in the suburban New Jersey memescape of the 1990s. Fitzgeralds catalogsa world of video games and love songs, entertainment franchises and widespread anomieseek out the proxies by which millions now live their most intimate experiences, examining everything from sexuality and faith to the spectacles of shopping and mass shootings. The poets memory may prove as fungible as the once-ubiquitous VHS cassette, but these queer poems form a hypertext archive of life as its packaged and purveyed. Fitzgeralds primal vision (Harold Bloom), so wildly alive in The Late Parade, metamorphoses into an exhilarating exploration of Americanas dark origins.
