Paperback. Condition: New. "This is one of those times, a time choked in the weeds of academic and civilian formalism. To put it mildly, most of what we see in print in North America is unbearably trivial and singularly devoid of courage."--Andrei Codrescu, The Disappearance of the Outside. Known to the general public as a radio commentator on National Public Radio, Romanian-born essayist and poet Andrei Codrescu has developed a variety of voices throughout his career: Transylvanian humorist on NPR, surrealist poet in his many volumes of poetry, academic essayist in his philosophical writings and historical novelist. Taking seemingly everyday events in seemingly mundane places, Codrescu is able to link the random details into a larger whole, leading his readers and listeners to conclusions very different from those they first imagined. This work explores Codrescu's writings and how they are a part of the surrealist tradition. It examines the ways in which his poetry, essays and novels are influenced by his upbringing in Communist Romania and the liberal attitudes he encountered upon moving to the United States, and draws comparisons between Codrescu and other surrealists. An interview with the author is also included.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The book takes its title from Marianne Moore's famously rejected suggestion for the Edsel-"Utopian Turtletop," a moment when high modernist language briefly brushed American industry and was politely set aside. Night Shift at the Utopian Turtletop Factory imagines that phrase surviving after hours, carried into the night shift where work, prayer, and speech blur: poems shaped over years of pruning and return, attentive to the ricochet between working-class religion and the long afterlife of modernism, with older roots reaching back toward early patristic voices. Rather than argue positions, the book listens for pressure-how belief, labor, and inherited forms strike one another and leave a residue in the line - so that what began as fragments and refusals gradually coheres into a single, nocturnal field of attention. Night Shift at the Utopian Turtletop Factory consists of poems shaped over years of pruning and return, attentive to the ricochet between working-class religion and the long afterlife of modernism.
