Description du livre Softcover. Etat : Good. Product Description Describes past fires in New York and shares the comments of witnesses, firefighters, and those who lost their homes From Publishers Weekly Writing in the tradition of William Carlos Williams's Paterson , poet Obenzinger relates New York City's history through its catastrophic fires, from 1613 to the present. He assembles verse collages of "reminiscences": an account of a 1776 fire (viewed as part of the Revolutionary War); the tale of one "Old Mose," a seven-foot fireman who in the 1850s predicts, "Steam is the end of the Volunteers"; that of a teacher in 1851 who asks, "Why do the doors open inward?" while the school burns; and the 1904 fire on an excursion boat, in which "Mama says that's clam chowder cooking. / That white smoke blowing / up the steps / is clam chowder boiling over." With the 1960s and '70s, the poems become somewhat didactic, recalling those eras' tumultuous politics. Obenzinger ( This Passover or the Next I Will Never Be in Jerusalem ) strains the conceit, particularly toward the end--the power of fire diminishes with the progress of technology; the force of metaphor fades with repetition here. Aside from this tendency toward excess, Obenzinger's poems are colorful and memorable. Illustrations not seen by PW. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Description du livre Paperback. 144p., beautifully designed and printed on alkaline paperstock and illustrated with a large number of vignette period photos and drawings; oversize softbound, 11x7.5 inch glossy black and red wraps. Two tiny corner-tips are bent, otherwise perfectly sound, clean and unmarked, a nice copy. Half-title has a scrawled inscription from Obenzinger, signed, and dated the year of publication. He works nonfiction into mild unorthodoxy with line-breaks --into modernist poetry in short that remains informative. Factual stuff organized by a poet. Commenced as a commercial project, write a book for a business concern, those who commissioned it went broke and Obenzinger re-fashioned his materials into this oddity endorsed by Dennis Smith, a notable writer on things (in)flamable, and by fellow poets Ishmael Reed, Andrei Codrescu and Eduardo Galeano.
