商品簡介
The latest collection from one of our preeminent poets, The Chameleon Couch is also one of Yusef Komunyakaa's most personal to date. As in his breakthrough work Copacetic, Komunyakaa writes of music as muse---from a blues club in the East Village to the shakuhachi of Basho. Beginning with "Canticle," this varied new collection often returns to the idea of poem-as-hymn, ethereal and haunting, as Komunyakaa reveals glimpses of memory, myth, and violence. With contemplations that spring up along walks or memories conjured by the rhythms of New York, more than ever Komunyakaa pays tribute to those who came before him.
As in the poet's best work, the book moves seamlessly across cultural and historical boundaries, evoking---with characteristic authenticity---Komunyakaa's capacity for cultural excavation through artifact and place. The Chameleon Couch begins in and never fully leaves the present---an urban modernity framed, brilliantly, in pastoral-minded verse. The poems seek the cracks beneath the landscape, whether in New York or Ghana or Poland, finding elements of wisdom or unexpected beauty in each. The collection is sensually, beautifully relaxed in rhetoric; in poems like "Cape Coast Castle," Komunyakaa reminds us of his gift for combining the personal with the universal, one moment addressing a lover, the next moving the focus outward, until both poet and reader are implicated in the book's startling world.
