David Buuck’ s newest collection, Noise in the Face of, is aesthetically strong, political poetry at its finest. Written in Oakland during the early days of the Occupy Oakland movement, through the Bay Area protests in the wake of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and many, many others, Noise marries fire and form, going beyond representational aesthetics to craft writing that aims to be the thing itself. Composed of nine poems, Noise is punctuated by “ DISTANCE NOW CLOSED BETWEEN,” whose sections appear between the other poems. In “ DISTANCE… ,” Buuck explores the first raid on the Oscar Grant Plaza in Oakland, appropriating language from leaked official emails. Buuck writes with immediacy, using language from the Internet that builds into righteous anger and exposes confusion that transforms into a sense of responsibility.
