A propos de cet article

Brian Young is the creator of powerful, sometimes harsh poems that combine outrage with remarkable lyricism, brooding melancholy with rich, sensual, even playful language. Young's work is difficult, in the sense that it rejects reductive prettiness, and at times threatening and full of moral anger against whatever is toxic in our environment and our culture. Yet it is never less than compelling, even alluring, in the wealth of its imagery and the force of Young's authentic and original voice. This is poetry for a new millennium, poetry that dares to look at what is ugliest and most frightening in our contemporary world and still acknowledge the powerful consolations of language, of hope, of love.
