Following the Fratellini Family of clowns, Jeramy Dodds astonishes readers and non-readers alike. Techniques, such as his patented triumph, the Grand Mal Caesura, along with other favorites, are on full view inside. Dodds brings us poems that are part gimerick but authentically dull. Dodds is a poetic warlock, only to be outdone by poetry, enslaved by it, freed by it--even loved by it. Somewhere is redemption. A haunting, yet hilarious depiction of a journey to and from the furthest limits of the human experiment.
After a brief period of mourning, it was the afternoon.
This mirror is selfie-proof, a machine that dams
back the gloom. When machines dream they dream
of stopping. But this bulimic is all hangnails
with a hankering to throatsing.
Jeramy Dodds grew up in Orono, Ontario, Canada. He is the winner of the 2006 Bronwen Wallace Memorial Award and the 2007 CBC Literary Award for poetry. His first collection of poems, Crabwise to the Hounds, was shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize, the Gerald Lampert Award, and won the Trillium Book Award for poetry. His most recent publication is a translation of the Poetic Edda from Old Icelandic into English. He is a poetry editor at Coach House Books. He currently lives in Montreal.
