| Synopsis: |
"Consolation Miracle "is a book of visceral, image-driven poems that search for the miraculous in the seemingly ordinary. This collection fashions art out of artless objects as a consolation, or perhaps compensation, for their smallness. Yawns and pears, cockroaches and crows resonate against historically conflated backdrops, while our own hands seem suddenly strange as they hide themselves in our pockets, balance a burning cigarette between two fingers, or grip the gun that shot Lincoln. Other poems address the destruction of empire, the end of old Hollywood, and the hyperbolic fizzling out of entire centuries. Here, consolation miracles are rarely the ones sought after, yet they radiate in their neglect. Davidson s poems help us understand the inner life of cows, imagine the plight of a banished "Kama Sutra" illustrator, speculate about Cleopatra s lingerie. With a title borrowed from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, "Consolation Miracle" contains a magical realism for the twenty-first century." |
