About this product
Product Information
Written during an autistic breakdown after his father's sudden death, Sweeney's visionary elegy for the living occupies the voice of the newly dead. Through shifting identities, genderless, omnigendered, bereft and haunted, this work affords an intimate mapping of grief--and a vision of what consciousness remains after the body.

Reviews
"Still and spare, Little Million Doors is a book-length series of lyrics that mourns a lost father. These half-uttered poems prove the "possibility" of poetry to provide avenues to understanding, even amid grief, by constructing themselves loosely enough to allow both time and space to quiver within. This level of quantum energy may feel nearly ungovernable but Chad Sweeney makes it work through internal music, the most specific of images and events, and a fine-tuned and innovative grammar that loops and fractures and overlaps and reforms. Perhaps ghostly but never disembodied, these lyrics feel immediate, necessary and absolutely brand new. Though elegiac they are ever hopeful and affirming and alive."--Kazim Ali, Judge's Citation"Chad Sweeney's book Little Million Doors enacts the starkness of Barthes' Mourning Diary but with the potency of the long poem, a meditation on the 'living shadow on the wall.' This moving work considers how the body finds solace in the world-building of elegy. This book is also an extended meditation on elegy as subjectivity. Little Million Doors is an original."--Carmen Gimenez Smith"How long do we walk between our deaths and that next plane? In Little Million Doors time settles around the dead as though snow in a meadow. As though the meadow itself falling as one long day assembles with the dead at its center no matter the direction they walk. In Sweeney's book-length elegy, both ephemeral and on-the-tongue, populous and lonely, the road was all / Of bones // And all and only I / Was on it. Speaker becomes ghost and readers trace a dead man's steps, taking leave of the cities and low heavens, each other as children, the surface of it all, its depths, and the flickering leaves, too. How many doors are there through which we can walk out of this world? A million little ones, according to Chad Sweeney."--Danielle Pafunda"The poetry of Chad Sweeney is exuberant, imagistic, and prophetic. It locates a "critical moment" of the ineffable that would be inexpressible, had it not been so beautifully expressed: "the last hawk in the net of his eye." Prophetic means of the world--'"the median burns with oleander from Miami to LA" and "the beer tastes of uranium"--but also touched by the marvelous ("the fire is folded inside its wood"). This is a poetry of awakening, of coming into knowledge. We are near the beginning and the end, but in a curiously real place where you can hear the white teeth of a bull pull at the grass."--Paul Hoover.In Parable of Hide and Seek, Chad Sweeney offers highly allusive and sonically textured lyrics that bring the reader to the edge of darkness, but always with a wink, the sense of menace tempered by the taut music of the pun. --Jacket2, The poetry of Chad Sweeney is exuberant, imagistic, and prophetic.
