Starting to Nod by Bryan D. Dietrich

by Unknown Author

Bryan Dietrich's work in this volume cements his status as a leading poet of his generation. Drawing from the biblical land of Nod, where Cain was exiled, the collection evokes a sense of post-lapsarian exile. The poems emerge from the collision of family narratives, societal forces, myth, history, traditional and popular culture, and science fiction. Dietrich employs a wide range of American dialects and classic poetic meters, creating unique, intellectually stimulating rhythms. While he echoes elements of James Merrill and David Foster Wallace, Dietrich's voice is uniquely his own, deserving the term 'Dietrichean'.
