Carbonation 014: Young Stars of the Bubble

By: Peterson, Andrew K.

"For two decades Andrew K. Peterson has regaled readers with tuned and resonant poems that are consistently startling, compassionate, flirtatious, and heartbreakingly beautiful. Here in Young Stars of the Bubble, Peterson continues to traverse language, tone, and rhythm with his unique blend of abstraction and personal, intimate art. These poems incite us to "run uncaught through/wolf-shaped arms," "drunk-glad and in love," to "grow rogue," and ultimately, to "scream inside your heart." Please join me in celebrating not only a triumphant collection of poems, but also, and perhaps not least, a great, great poet, and one of my dearest friends." - Joseph Cooper Young Stars of the Bubbleis a radiant, restlessly inventive collection that traverses lyric, collage, and elegy to map memory and desire. Andrew K. Peterson writes with an openintelligence and keen spirit, capturing fleeting joys and subterranean currents bubbling under contemporary life.Drifting between the ecstatic and the everyday, or grounded in friendship and loss, these kaleidoscopic poems shimmer with pop detritus.In linked suites shaped around winter and the alphabet, Peterson attends to lyric moments, echoing back language that feels both ephemeral and essential. This is a book that invites you to "go in among others," and - maybe - come out hanged.
