About the Author
Dean Young has published five books of poems, Skid (2002), First Course in Turbulence (1999), Strike Anywhere (1995) which won the first Colorado Poetry Prize, Beloved Infidel (1992) and Design With X (1988). A recipient of a Stegner fellowship from Stanford University, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and one from the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, in 2002 he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. Young is on the permanent faculty of the Iowa Writers Workshop and also teaches in the Warren Wilson low residency MFA program. He splits his time between Iowa City and Berkeley where he lives with his wife, the novelist Cornelia Nixon and his Abyssinian, Keats.
From the Inside Flap
After more than 12 years, Dean Young s second book, Beloved Infidel, is back in print. His timing is always three degrees before top-dead-center. His language burns at a high fuel-to-air ratio. His poems should be on blimps, on scoreboards or even bounced off Mars. To not read Dean Young brings a serious malaise, like ignoring milkshakes or the antic wave. If you are in love, read Dean Young. If you have ever been in love, read Dean Young. If you are suffering from a disturbance which has not made the pages of the DSM-IV, read Dean Young. Then plan for a recovery requiring a set of speakers in every room and a fair amount of tribal music. Have a muffin and a soy drink and find out, again, that everything becomes small when taken together. Dean Young makes sex, pieces of music, odd notations, night barkings and many facts about turbines coalesce into something sensible because you believe there are moments where the piano can be played to great effect with the elbows. Every now and then squeeze the little heart and the lord will help you grow another. Dean Young is a splendid contraption. When you read him you ll uncover pleasing sensations throughout your rumba chakra. Boom shakalaka, boom.
