About this product
Product Information
Tony Hoagland's zany poems poke and provoke at the same time as they entertain and delight. He is American poetry's hilarious 'high priest of irony', a wisecracker and a risktaker whose disarming humour, self-scathing and tenderness are all fuelled by an aggressive moral intelligence. He pushes the poem not just to its limits but over the edge. His first UK book of poems is a selection drawing on three collections, Sweet Ruin (1992), Donkey Gospel (1998) and What Narcissism Means to Me (2003). He has since published a later collection, Unincorporated Persons in the Late Honda Dynasty (2010). 'He belongs to that wagon-circle of American poets who believe in a common reader Hoagland is a poet of a ragged, half-satirical, half-lyrical intensity. If Billy Collins is Updike, Hoagland is Salinger, or perhaps Holden Caulfield making us think we know the ground we are on, then showing us that we don't For me, he not only pulls the rug from under my feet when it comes to the moral complacencies and platitudes that I don't notice I live by, he does the same with my given poetic certainties' Henry Shukman, Poetry London 'Hilarious, searing poems that break your heart so fast you hardly notice you're standing knee deep in a pool of implications. They are of this moment, right now the present that we're already homesick for' Marie Howe 'Tony Hoagland's high zaniness always makes us laugh, but his real substance issues from the personal, aesthetic and moral risks he invokes in poem after poem What Narcissism Means to Me shows us our age and how great poetry is still possible' Rodney Jones 'A Late Night Show of poetry hosted by a high priest of irony (check out the title) These poems are very funny, but they are also sad, sharp-edged and ambitious confiding, consistently irreverent and, in a way, comforting' Carol Muske-Dukes, Los Angeles Times 'Hoagland's central subject is the self, specifically, a prickly, grandiose American masculine poetic self, or to be more specific still, what the author ruefully labels in one poem a government called Tony Hoagland there is something refreshing about his willingness to expose his crummier impulses' Emily Nussbaum, New York Times 'It's hard to imagine any aspect of contemporary American life that couldn't make its way into the writing of Tony Hoagland or a word in common or formal usage he would shy away from. He is a poet of risk: he risks wild laughter in poems that are totally heartfelt, poems you want to read out loud to anyone who needs to know the score and even more so to those who think they know the score. The framework of his writing is immense, almost as large as the tarnished nation he wandered into under the star of poetry' Jackson Poetry Prize judges' citation

Extremely ecstatic with this purchase! Literally a steal! The whole outfit is exactly as described and pictured. More importantly it came carefully wrapped and extremely well packaged.

Many thanks to the seller for keeping it well maintained 🌟 Definitely recommend both store and seller as all items being sold are absolute gems and rarities at amazing prices! I will definitely be purchasing again soon! Thank you so much ❤️

We're so glad you love it! We'd listed it for auction six or seven times, gradually reducing the price down from the original £59, so you definitely got a bargain - and we're happy it finally found a home with someone who appreciates it because we thought it was beautiful too! Thanks for supporting the Arthur Rank Hospice Charity :-)
