Description
Charles Bernstein's Girly Man is a powerful collection of poems responding to the events of 9/11 and the war in Iraq. Written on the evening of September 11, 2001, and in response to its aftermath, these works showcase Bernstein's unique blend of self-deprecation, philosophical insight, and poetic innovation. The poems in Girly Man are diverse in form and mood, ranging from intense moments of crisis to comic excursions and formal explorations. Throughout the collection, representation and truth are active concerns, with Bernstein's poetry performing its ideas so that they can be experienced as well as understood. This is a provocative and aesthetically challenging collection of radical verse that defends contingency, resistance, and multiplicity. With its unique blend of humor, incisive thinking, and poetic innovation, Girly Man is a significant work from one of America's most controversial poets.
