August Kleinzahler (born December 10, 1949 in Jersey City, New Jersey) is an American poet.
I've always felt that there's a very thin membrane between madness and alcoholism, andor destitution and being an OK American guy in a comfortable heated apartment with meatballs and a decent Sauvignon Blanc in the fridge.
There is a particular quality of quietude and stillness that suffuses these painterly poems of Carol Ann Davis, so involved with loss, motherhood and the shifting tonalities of light that transform the domestic and ordinary into the strange and extraordinary that, combined with tenderness of address, approach the worshipful and make a number of these poems so moving and distinctive.
The making of art is a profoundly social activity, even if it’s one-on-one with some sort of ideal reader who doesn’t exist.
