Inhaltsangabe

Nota Bene: A Journey follows, in a set of 71 “suites,” an intense relationship between its author and an astonishing woman artist, a union increasingly identified in this long serial poem with the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The work is a major shift in direction for Stephen Bett, a poet known mainly for his sassy, satiric irreverence about political correctness and pop culture. Here we see, to put it mildly, a far more nakedly personal voice, one frequently seared with anguish and despair, while surely attempting to retain the poet’s customary edginess to charge and propel his language beyond a hint of the mere sentimental or cliched.
