Description
Poetry. Compulsively confessional and cracking wise, THE NONNETS is an utterly unique alchemy of poetry and comedy. Aaron Giovannone's latest collection is a book-length sequence of "nonnets"--nine-line poems that Giovannone handles with ruthless dexterity. Capturing transformations from first dates to goodbye texts, from mama's boy to unrepentant shoplifter, from post-industrial downtown to eleventh-century Italian monastery, these poems present a kaleidoscopic world that careens wildly between despair and ecstasy.
"Often hilarious, always poignant, Aaron Giovannone's THE NONNETS scoop up handfuls of life and buoy them into air. These poems are to the heart as angel food cake is to the mouth."--Larissa Lai"With the poetic dexterity of a maestro, Aaron Giovannone's THE NONNETS takes us on a hilarious and unpredictable journey. If these amazing poems don't make you think about how wondrous and doomed we are, if they don't make you laugh and cry, then you are dead inside."--Adam Dickinson"There's a marvellousness in every single one of Aaron Giovannone's magic nonnets: exquisite, surprising, crystalline bursts of light. THE NONNETS is a book of the marvellous--its beauty and intelligence astound me."--Jake KennedyMore Information
