About this title

Synopsis

Benching is a colloquial term used to refer to the act of blessing as sung by Jews, together, after a shared meal. The Bench is constructed in that spirit, as a multi-vocal celebration of the intellectual and cultural feast of its singer(s). The gifts praised also include the ability and necessity to incorporate many-headed lamentations of, and infinitely eyed interrogations into, all manner of cultural and theological manifestation. This is attempted as a poetic experiment in the Zukofskian ideal of "sight, sound, and intellection" with Biblical, entertainment, literary and linguistic figures (popular and not), to tell of the twentieth century's incendiary legacy as lived through variegated consumerist landscapes proffered to a particularly democratic Jewish-American hunger for subjective transcendence.

About the Author

Jared Chipkin is a longtime bookseller from New York City. The Bench is his first poetry collection.
