Rogue Hemlocks

by Carl Martin

Overview

African-American and a native of the South, Carl Martin's "Brit vernacular" asks of its reader nothing less than a total ignorance of expectation. These poems, coming after a long silence, engage Romantic tropes such as Vision, Beauty, and the Self, cheek-by-jowl with Pop madness and Modern despair, all in a cadence that is winkingly isolate, stunningly productive.

What People are Saying About This

John Ashbery

"Carl Martin's poetry bears the same relation to contemporary writing that Conlon Nancarrow's player piano studies do to traditional piano music. In other words, it's unlike anything you've ever read and will take you to places you never knew existed."
