Descriere magazin:
For almost twenty years,
Rick Barot has been writing some of the most stunningly crafted lyric poems in America, paying careful, Rilkean attention to the layered world that surrounds us. In The
Galleons , he widens his scope, contextualizing the immigrant journey of his Filipino-American family in the larger history and aftermath of colonialism. These poems are engaged in the work of recovery, making visible what is often intentionally erased: the movement of domestic workers on a weekday morning in Brooklyn; a veteran of the war in Afghanistan, fondly sharing photos of his dog; the departure and destination points of dozens of galleons between 1564 and 1815, these ships evoking both the vast movements of history and the individual journeys of those borne along by their tides. Her story is a part of something larger, it is a part / of history,
Barot writes of his grandmother. No, her story is an illumination // of history, a matchstick lit in the black seam of time. With nods toward
Barot\'s poetic predecessors--from Frank O\'Hara to John Donne-- The
Galleons represents an exciting extension and expansion of this virtuosic poet\'s work, marrying reckless ambition and crafted composure, in which we repeatedly find the speaker standing and breathing before the world, incredible and true.
