Publisher Description
This audiobook is a collection of new poems by Andrew Demcak.
"Andrew Demcak's new book, A Single Hurt Color, reminds me of the broken snow globe at the beginning of Citizen Kane. Demcak renders a view of the world through the filter of a shard with a piercing command of language, and an ear keenly tuned to the music of each word." (J.P. Dancing Bear, editor, The American Poetry Journal)
"A Single Hurt Color takes us on winding, asymmetrical paths of loss, love, and grace. Demcak knows when language must be talky and when it must be tight, and, as a result, these poems unfold in an expansive "pageant of tongues." He revels in sound, in rhythm, in all that makes the world simultaneously wobbly and secure." (Tony Trigilio, poet)
Customer Reviews
Poet Shaman
Andrew Demcak opens yet more vistas into that seductive world he continues to create in his new book of poems 'a single hurt color'. And even for the polished practiced linguist he has revealed before, this sturdy volume reaches even higher marks on the rising tide of his young career. Demcak is a wizard with words, a sorcerer and lusty sensualist who is able to paint indelible images that may fly past the reader's eye as in his haiku settings, or linger in the musky flavors of physical encounters experienced or imagined. He whisks us away on journeys to other times, other places, dabbles with thoughts of Kurt Cobain, Wallace Stevens and Freud, channels Icarus, Samson and Delilah, and Joseph Smith, tinkers with lovesongs to mussels and orchids, and summons some of the most erotic scenes imaginable. Demcak at once entertains, challenges, seduces, and puzzles us with some of the finest new work being birthed today - a poet shaman! Grady Harp, March 10
