Bøger af Cindy Glovinsky

Cindy Glovinsky has an unmistakable presence and voice. The poems in Unclenching chronicle the responses of a fervent consciousness taking on whatever the quotidian has to throw at it in the form of boredom or frustration or craziness or injustice and giving back at least as good as it gets. At times the voice is resigned-"I wonder why we tried so hard/to change things/if this is where we were going to end up" ("They Don't Know")-while at other times it channels the energy and outrage of stand-up comedy. But, in whatever mode, it remains the expression of a serious, thinking, feeling, and eminently relatable fellow human being as she entices us into accompanying her on this entertaining, engaging, and occasionally wild ride.-Bruce Bennett, Emeritus Professor of English, Wells College, author of Just Another Day in Just Our Town, Poems: New and Selected, 2000-2016 (Orchises Press, 2017)Her careful scrutiny of the day that's in it brings to these poems an urgency and immediacy that repays the reader's attentions. Good to have Cindy Glovinsky on the record.-Thomas Lynch, author of BONE ROSARY: New & Selected Poems
