Chase Twichell Quotes

• The Failure of Will theory is equally popular with people who are not depressed. Get out and take your mind off yourself, they say. You're too self-absorbed. This is just about the stupidest thing you can say to a depressed person, and it is said every day to depressed people all over this country. And if it isn't that, it's Shut up and take your Prozac.

• In Advance of All Parting es un examen duro y nada sentimental del duelo conyugal. Musicalmente elegantes e inventivos, sobrios y apasionados, los poemas nos ofrecen una visión profunda de cómo los acontecimientos de una vida pueden formar un centro de gravedad que fija al yo en su campo de fuerza. Hay en ellos una claridad fría y reveladora de la verdad que los hace tan inquietantes como hermosos. Ansie Baird ha creado un mundo ricamente dibujado en el que se desarrolla este drama elemental, y el resultado son poemas vívidos y sorprendentes en los que el dolor ha dejado sus huellas indelebles.

• Seeking the Cave is part travelogue, part literary history, and part spiritual journey. James Lenfestey is a lively and entertaining tour guide. Modest, funny, curious, and wide open to the world, he gives us perceptive glimpses of Chinese culture, ancient to contemporary, and into what it means to be a poet, both now and twelve centuries ago. The account of his quest to find Han Shan's cave is a delight from beginning to end.

• To Forget Venice is a tour de force of ventriloquism. Elegant, contemporary, and wry, the voice at its center is also capable of disarming flights of imagination as it enters and inhabits other lives across time and gender. The glittering, fetid city emerges as a complex metaphor for the human heart’s simultaneous tenderness and capacity for cruelty, its ‘silver glow / a local specialty: filth / disguised as ornament.’ This Venice is unforgettable.
