Overview


Poetry. Said judge Tony Hoagland of Matthew Dickman's ALL AMERICAN POEM, winner of the APR/Honnickman First Book Prize: "Matthew Dickman's all-American poems are the epitome of the pleasure principle; as clever as they are, they refuse to have ulterior intellectual pretensions; really, I think, they are spiritual in character-free and easy and unself-conscious, lusty, full of sensuous aspiration. . . . We turn loose such poets into our culture so that they can provoke the rest of us into saying everything on our minds."

    What to Grasp

    All of us have the innate sense that more of our edgier thoughts could get over themselves, walk across the divide, and make friends with compassion and humor. Matthew Dickman made this choice long ago, and adds to his poetic magic by noticing so much of the unnoticeable in our lives. He swims in passion, speaks truth to power, embraces vulnerability and jumps for joy. Dickman's style fits free verse like a high quality sleeping bag already filled with your favorite person.

    And this book contains within its pages my now most favorite poem, "Love". You'd have to write a pretty damn good poem with a simple, unoriginal title like that, and Dickman pulls it off. Makes me even more disappointed that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

    I'd give this a higher rating, but I'm not always a fan of books in which every single poem is written in the same style. Plus the frequency in which Dickman discusses sleeping with other people's wives seems sophomoric and takes away from the major themes of the book.

    This Oregon Book Award winner will have major lasting power, yet I look forward to more of his work. I glance at the celebrity tabloids while grocery shopping and wonder what Dickman will write next. I watch Sex & the City and wonder what Dickman will write next. I read about repression all over the world and wonder what Dickman will write next.

    He titles one poem here "The World is Too Huge to Grasp". Yet so much of what you grasp will end up loving you back.
