I don’t normally read a lot of poetry, but Denis Johnson is such a great writer, I wanted to try this one. I love his books Jesus’ Son and Tree of Smoke and especially Train Dreams. I’m glad I bought this book. I read it in two sittings. The poem of the title is so strange and beautiful; I heard Johnson read it during an event at the Michener Center in Austin and it blew me away Johnson’s poems tend to be very narrative; that is, they’re not full of trickery and fancy figures of speech; they actually tell stories. And just like with his novels, his writing has this weird, druggy effect. It’s often hallucinatory and creepy, but then he makes you laugh. This effect reminds me a lot of Jesse Sublett’s writing — he’s also surealistic, dark and funny.

Thoroughly up to Denis Johnson’s usual incredibly high standard. I believe we lost Denis Johnson this summer, a serious loss to literature. Multi talented, working both in short stories, novels, and oerry, as this collection is, Denis Johnson is a writer well worth reading, and this is an excellent collection of poetry.
