Love in a Time of Paranoia

Thomas Zimmerman

4.6/5 ( ratings)

As with positing–that is, poem-ing–that “a crumpled napkin / was all Degas needed / to do a sky,” Howie Good only needed to be attentive to his world to create the many, varied universes possible through poems. That is, from the smallest of details he creates the deepest implications, and does so with a pleasing finesse. —Eileen R. Tabios, poet, editor of Galatea Resurrects
and multiple poetry anthologies, and mother of the hayku.

Not a single word is out of place, every one of them matters and is selected and used with skill and a feeling for craft…The world depicted in these poems is far from cosy – no room for soft platitudes here. We are in “dilapidated backstreets” in the company of gunmen and “suicide bombers in dynamite vests.” This is a crumpled, collapsing world of doubt and confusion. —Mandy Pannett, author of “The Onion Stone” and three poetry collections.

With these twenty brief vignettes, Howie Good strips language back to its bare essentials, distilling meaning into a series of single powerful shots. An impressive start to Diamond Point Press’ twenty20 Chapbook Series. —Jon Pinnock, author of Mrs. Darcy vs. the Aliens
