It would be the end cap to a new collection of poetry, and a means to process modern American life in a time of political turmoil, mega fires, and sobriety. What Zapruder didn't anticipate was that this literary project would reveal a deeply personal aspect as well: a way to resolve the unexplored pain and unexpected joys he was confronting in the wake of his son's diagnosis with autism. The result is a remarkable piece of writing, one that explores not just what it means to be a poet and father, but also what it means to be alive on this planet during this turbulent and extraordinary time. By comparing the writing of a poem with his own tangled evolution as a son, husband and father, Zapruder unfolds moments of his own life in the reflection of an increasingly uncanny world. With a wide range of reference points-- from Celan, Li Bai and Frank O'Hara to Whitman, Merwin and Rupi Kaur--we join Zapruder on a poet's journey; that in some alchemy of literature, becomes a journey of our own. 600 10 $a Zapruder, Matthew, $d 1967- 650 0 $a Poets, American $v Biography. 650 0 $a American poetry $x History and criticism. 600 17 $a Zapruder, Matthew, $d 1967- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01952449. 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348. 650 7 $a Poets, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067794. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896. 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403012143.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20231121010944.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230603010150.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F42D651801D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
