What We Carry (American Poets Continuum)

Finalist, 1994 National Book Critics Circle Award for Poetry. Dorianne Laux's poetry is a poetry of risk; it goes to the very edge of extinction to find the hard facts that need to be sung. What We Carry includes poems of survival, poems of healing, poems of affirmation and poems of celebration. More »

[ 5.0 stars ] "Her work is incredible, and this book absolutely blew my mind. I remember after reading some of these poems I'd say "damn" and shake my head in amazement. Her work is like an open door, and by the time the piece is over the door is slammed shut.Definitely has been a huge influence on me.-Male, 21 ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "Once again, I was drawn to a book of poetry by the title. It didn't hurt that Ms. Laux has a blurb on back from the fabulous Adrienne Rich. I usually read the title poem first to gauge if I like the poetry. The first line of "What We Carry" is as follows:"He tells me his mother carries his father's asheson the front seat in a cardboard box, exactlywhere she placed them after the funeral ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] ""What We Carry" established Dorianne Laux as my favorite contemporary American poet.Her work is bold, spare and literally breathtaking. Her voice is so real, it is daunting. I can see the light pouring from beneath the door, feel the dust on the mantle, and breath in the odor of the rooms she describes.The volume is always near my bedside, and I give it, sparingly, to only the most special of my ..."

[ 4.0 stars ] "Adrienne Rich describes Dorianne Laux's poetry as 'tough, sensual...with physical details that add up to more than their sum...' It's what I like about Laux's poetry, she is sensual, sexual at the same time a tough woman. Her poetry is much like Kim Addonizio's, who is one of my favorite contemporary poets. And they are friends, so it is no surprise that Addonizio has lead ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 5.0 stars ] "What is beautiful about Dorianne Laux's poetry is that she disguises her metaphors, similes and other poetical devices behind language with which anyone can connect. She is not a simple poet; rather, her poems can be appreciated on many levels, by both average readers and other writers. Dorianne does what few do successfully: she takes the everyday and shows us why we can't forget it. ..." Courtesy by Amazon
