Brave Disguises

By Gray Jacobik

Winner of the 2001 Associated Writing Programs' Award in Poetry Selected by Marilyn Chin A poet with an artist's eye, a painter with an ear for language, Gray Jacobik creates poems out of the mundane and extraordinary moments of our lives. Mirroring the structure of a Pollock painting, elegizing Larry Levis and avocados, reflecting on Johnny Depp's "terribly surreal" life, embarking upon a seventy-two-line meditation on the color blue, exposing a lover's--or a mother's--secrets, Jacobik's poems are mature, elegant, and crackling with energy.
