About this product
Product Information
Every drawer in every chest overflows with illogic and passion. Do we want love / each and every day of our lives? Jan Conn asks in a poem called Michoacán. You bet your ass, she answers. The poems of Botero's Beautiful Horses are charged with otherness, bright with the exhilaration and danger of transformation. Many are descriptions of surrealist canvases, astonishingly kinetic narratives composed by looking hard at unusual pictures, the artists' writings and their circumstances--and letting them speak for themselves. The book becomes a journey away from the familiar into other cultures, especially Latin American. Poem after poem gathers a sense of inner as well as outward journey away from a perilous childhood into a wide world rich and strange with a recurrent underworld motif of darkness, blackness. But what a black! Rich and various, life as if viewed in the obsidian mirrors the Aztecs fashioned from the dark. Colours the Aztecs invented: eagle-devouring-snake black expansionist black dried-blood black. They loved the night creatures: owls, scorpions, bats, the Queen of Spiders. from People of the Left-Sided Hummingbird Jan Conn is a Dalí with a scalpel of words, with colourwheels for eyes. To read her is to feel alive, sometimes flayed, but always held in a lush dream replete with flora and fauna every bit as magical as they are real. She is conducting an operation of intelligence and observation, a taxonomy of the senses cooked over flames of Art, embracing the cultures of the Americas. -- Marilyn Bowering

Reviews
Botero's Beautiful Horses is the latest in Jan Conn's unique body of poetic writing that blends science, history, image, and dream into what she calls the "[s]trange embrace" of the surreal, the concrete, the visual, and the intellectual., "Botero's Beautiful Horses is the latest in Jan Conn's unique body of poetic writing that blends science, history, image and dream into what she calls the Ôstrange embrace' of the surreal, the concrete, the visual, and the intellectual. Conn's verse here is terse and aphoristic as often as it is lush, evocative, and ornamental." Ñ Owen Percy, Canadian Literature "As a poet and a biologist she merges art and science ... Her work is embedded with contrasts and contradictions ... full of starlight, fire and blood ... " Ñ Janet Grafton, The Goose

SCAM ALERT...He claimed to have "Cherry Blossom", and sold it to me for $20.."Japanese Cherry Blossom" showed up instead. I knew something weird was going to happen because "Cherry Blossom" goes for around $50 or higher AND he purposely BLURRED the product IMAGE. He's trying to rectify things with lies, knowing full well he NEVER had the ORIGINAL "Cherry Blossom". Told him once he sent it to prove he had it, I would return his. He simply never had it. Saying it was a mishap. Just a scam. LIES

i didnt sell it for $20. i sold it for under $10. when you emailed that you got the wrong one ,i quickly replied for you to send it back with a prepaid label so it wont cost you anything and send you a replacement, but you demanded i sent a replacement first which isnt ebays policy, i have sold numerous cherry blossoms after your sale so evidently i do have it in stock, you dont want to follow ebay rules and just want to vent on me , shame on you
