Bøger af Michelle Hartman

In this, her second full collection of poems, Michelle Hartman continues the breathtakingly honest, articulate, insightful, bawdy, hilarious, revelatory, and incomparably zany diatribe which she so poignantly launched with Disenchanted and Disgruntled. Nothing escapes her incisive, ironic eye, not even her own hallowed art of poetry. No other poet would even attempt to blend such unlikely elements as mistresses, Robert Hass, social injustice, Pavlov, adultery, Ted Cruz, inbreeding, Buddha, feminism, John Donne, legal chicanery, W. S. Merwin, Chupacabra, and countless additional and disparate ingredients into a "poetic stew" so gourmet and delectable.

Black-Arab political and cultural solidarity has had a long and rich history in the United States. That alliance is once again exerting a powerful influence on American society. In Breaking Broken English, Hartman explores the historical and current manifestations of this relationship through language and literature.

This is the first study in English of French-language fiction by Lebanese women writers and therefore brings a relatively unknown literary tradition to light.

In this, her fourth full collection of poems, Michelle Hartman continues her breathtakingly honest, bawdy, and shockingly precise narrative look, this time at love and loss. The book begins with breakup poems, as Hartman says, "You can't appreciate love 'till you've kissed the curb once." The book's second half is an honest look at love when it's so good "Our futures filled with insatiable appetites." Hartman has been published in numerous journals in America and overseas. She holds a BS in Political Science Pre-Law and is the former editor of Red River Review.
