על הספר
In her poetry collection Whiskey, X-Ray, Yankee, Dara-Lyn Shrager delivers the sumptuous darkness and eerie rapture of a gothic novel, braiding ribbons of narrative and pastoral meditation with moments of pure music. In the world of this book, nature serves as aggressor and accomplice, and the body is a vulnerable fortress. The Club shows us how, Baby redpolls leave their nests, feast / then tip to their deaths in wet tombs, while in Bee Mountain we watch as, The sun finds us and slips / us on like a strand of hot metal beads. The sublime pervades this collection and illuminates it, whether we are stumbling upon, hundreds of monarch butterflies / among asphalt pebbles, flattened / beer cans, shreds of newsprint, / cigarette thumbs or clanging all through the night in song. A stunning and visceral book, Whiskey, X-Ray, Yankee will draw even the skeptical poetry reader under its spell.-- reviews from back cover.
