About this product
Product Information
In her poetry Terese Svoboda walks out to the edge where language is made and destroyed. Her subject is human suffering. Called "disturbing, edgy and provocative" by Book Magazine, her work is often the surreal poetry of a nightmare yet is written with such wit, verve, and passion that she can address the direst subjects. Weapons Grade is a collection of poems about the power of occupation--political and personal. They often play with sestina, sonnet, and couplets, as if only form can contain the fury of between the occupier and the occupied. There's a pervading sense of dread, of expiation, of portents--even in potato salad. There's also elegy and lullaby and seduction but, in the words of the sixties tune "Wooly Bully," the reader must "Watch it now, watch it." Highly poised, grand and intensely lyrical, the poems veer from the political to the personal, then finish on the elegiac, releasing complex and unexpected meaning with emotional precision. Looking directly into the contemporary apocalyptic, Weapons Grade, Svoboda's fifth collection of poetry, draws readers back to the radiant present.

Reviews
"Svoboda has such range--of subject, of emotion (from whimsical play to chillingly dead serious)--that these poems take you on a wild ride, fast and dangerous, but always in control. This is a goddamn terrific book!" --Thomas Lux, author of God Particles "Weapons Grade is both whistleblower and elegy, a tour de force in the expansive in-your-face tradition of Susan Griffin and Garry Trudeau. Svoboda is an indefatigably American writer of conscience and acuity--a documentarian and saboteur, satirist and sharp-tongued citizen, her poems dangerous and heartbreaking." --Maureen Seaton, author of Venus Examines Her Breast "'Let the continent flex its bicep, / a man built on steroids.' This is Terese Svoboda's grave view of America today, in her new collection Weapons Grade (the name of a grisly atrocity game), but she makes poems that laugh anyway! . . . Sweet--or sharp--tempered comedy empowers Svoboda to address the direst subjects in a prophetic and scary book full of hilarious noises." --Caroline Knox, author of Quaker Guns, Svoboda has such range-of subject, of emotion (from whimsical play to chillingly dead serious)-that these poems take you on a wild ride, fast and dangerous, but always in control.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
