Description: Matthew has been a rising star in American poetry. At the center of Mayakovsky's Revolver is the suicide of Dickman's older brother. But the book is also an exploration of love: how to love the unknown and how to celebrate life despite grief. These are elegies and love poems, verses about and for the body of the beloved. This book finds the connection between grief and joy, comfort and rage, and confirms Dickman's standing as a major young poet.
Notes: Poems.
