Reviews
"David Campos' American Quasar is a true force of collaboration that implores a new vision of exegesis with the renowned artist, Maceo Montoya. How can we love what hurts us, and how can we love the things we hurt? Here is a speaker kneeling in reverence to a god, a lover, or a self which we can acutely love and hurt at the same time. Set in the storied landscape of the California Central Valley, this book is an indictment of what America has burned or buried, and a document of all that has nonetheless survived in the ashes: the name of a distant father, the gravity of the past on our chest. Powerfully surreal and imagistic, Campos is a necessary voice both tender and unrelenting, a voice that is both wound and salve. How fortunate we are for the gifts of poet and artist at the height of their powers." --Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, author of Centzontle "The apocalypse doesn't have to be violent. // The horsemen are mirrors." American Quasar looks in rather than out, registering the catastrophe of our times in the merest activities of our most intimate selves. It's a book of spiritual exercises, and its ruminations are ragged, memorable, desperate prayers. Notebook-like in the intimacy of their entanglement, the lyrics and images combine in dynamic and tender reflection. Campos' fierce, direct contemplations turn ordinary anxiety into dramatic and memorable gesture; Montoya's subtle but searing images frame human thought as embodied activity. Both text and image remind us that we exist vibrantly in those states of ambivalence, grief, and anger that we most fear: "What if the wreckage, / the carnage, the catastrophe, was your music?" --Katie Peterson, author of A Piece of Good News "Campos's strength is in the visual, the image-oriented approach to crisp, clean verse. He connects to greater phenomena using extended metaphors and loops of images and ideas. It is a poetry capable of blending the microscopic and macroscopic into a single, unifying understanding. The result is the emergence of allegory, mystery, and beautifully complex imagery." --Greg Bem, North of Oxford "This is a book of grief and reckoning, an attempt to make sense of abandonment. Among American Quasar 's many gifts is the synergy of Montoya's art with Campos's words. While neither artist offers much comfort, both remind us that we are not wholly alone. Others also live in burning houses." -- Rhino Magazine, David Campos' American Quasar is a true force of collaboration that implores a new vision of exegesis with the renowned artist, Maceo Montoya.
