Beskrivning
Calvin Bedient's fourth collection, The Multiple, meets an unspeakably excessive reality with an unremitting intensity of its own. The "multiple" in question is the imbroglio of entwinements and failed copulas within us and all around us, the reality underlying and giving the lie to our stereotypes. Dazzlingly resourceful-witty, multi-tonal, musical, propositional, painterly-the poems thump the increasingly empty box of cultural goods, an inheritance that isn't really ours. We are left with a naked need for creativity in a cosmos whose gift of time is a gift of chaos. If in a universe that is "not-one . . . the rhapsodic is the avenue to the truth," as Alain Badiou says, the quality of the rhapsodic in The Multiple is as cacophonous and unforgiving as it is lyrical and hooked. The truth is extreme, this aggressively uncensored book says, as it battles to give equal power to a savage voice and a soaring voice. Strong in their invisible architecture, these are poems of wild openness and sheer aliveness.

"Always happiest shifting tonal and emotional gears at wrenching speeds, and always honest (and gutsy) enough to let the ugliest and most unsettling faces of eros peak through the strings of his lyre, Bedient asks us, in this newest volume, to awaken yet further to the hard ancient truth of the plucked string, to the sweet and sour overtones of that plucking, to the deep fear it awakens in the listener, to the apparent jangling, apparent hooting, and the strange hope that runs its metamorphic tributary underneath." --Jorie Graham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Place , on The Violence of the Morning " Days of Unwilling creates relationships not through aggressive juxtaposition, but fluidly, through progression." -- Boston Review on Days of Unwilling "There is a truly original and powerful mind at work in this collection. It reflects one of the most sophisticated understandings of poetic voice in contemporary poetry." --David St. John, author, The Auroras , on Candy Necklace
