Americana

By T.J. Beitelman

In TJ Beitelman's poems, ' everything's a powder / keg, ' where everyday occurrences explode into expressions of joy and heartache. Americana begins with an examination of American icons and institutions, then moves out in widening circles to encompass everything from Greek myth to global politics. Here you'll find strange bedfellows-Bogart and the Big Bang, Hank Aaron and Buddhism, Hezbollah and Frank O' Hara-drawn together by Beitelman's nimble mind. Full of surprising turns and observations, Americana is a wide-eyed view of the extraordinary world around us, one most of us rarely have the capacity to see. -Mark Neely
