Sinopsis

The poems in Transient will stay with you. When the world turns to war, you&rsquo,ll remember &ldquo,Manufactured Rage,&rdquo, while &ldquo,Dreaming Washington Irving&rdquo, will fast-forward you through the stages of your own life. Called up by such poems as &ldquo,Reunion&rdquo, and &ldquo,Lunch at Monica&rsquo,s House,&rdquo, lost friends and family will return and visit. In poems like &ldquo,L.E.D. R.I.P,&rdquo, you&rsquo,ll put the dark in humor up against the funny in tragedy. And if you wonder what ET makes of all of it, you&rsquo,ll return to &ldquo,Do They Deduce We Had Lips,&rdquo, the debut poem in this debut collection by acclaimed children&rsquo,s book author Gail Carson Levine. Those who look to Levine for the fantastic will find a dog-faced man, Medusa, Pygmalion, a hero of the Iliad, and--Jughead!&ndash,seen through a lens more Sexton than Seuss. The emotional range here is both broad and nuanced: humor, nostalgia, grief, shame, anger, regret, fear, and even&ndash,occasionally&ndash,joy. Throughout, in every-day language gracefully arranged, Levine elevates ordinary ideas and common experience so that all is haloed in light.
