Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

The poems in Furious Lullaby contain as much mischief as they do music, surprising the reader with a chorus of unexpected voices - a scapula, the dead, the Devil - and weaving those moments into a series of heartbreaking aubades that sing to the gorgeous melancholy of memory and loss. - Rigoberto Gonzalez, author of Other Fugitives and Other Strangers

Reseña del editor:

Furious Lullaby is both a celebration of and a eulogy to the body in the twenty-first century. The collection, which examines the larger concepts of salvation and temptation in a world of blossoming strife, includes a series of aubades - dramatic poems culminating with the separation of lovers at dawn. The lovers suffer a metaphysical crisis, seeking to know what is good, what is evil, and how to truly know the difference. Knowing, however, invites the terrible into their world. The Devil, a seductive trickster, haunts the landscape as a voice who dares each inquisitor to learn about mortality, morality, the beautiful, and the unspeakable through direct experience. ""Furious Lullaby"" offers a departure from the lighter prose poetry of de la Paz's ""Names above Houses"" and preserves the author's concern with the nature of human grace.
