Rouge Pulp explores notions of body and beauty, birth and death, in a contemporary America driven by its contradictions: material plenty and spiritual lack. Dorothy Barresi writes about strippers, hair salons, cancer, good credit ratings, cockfights, childbirth, maternal love, war. Her poems take the world’s brutal vitality as their music, and they refuse to despair.

Poesi inom Skonlitteratur

Always sassy and reckless, always poignant and heart-wrenching, Dorothy Barresi's astonishing poems constantly fill us with a rare, bare-knuckled exuberance about the world. Stylistically inventive and dancing with her trademark verbal jazz, these new poems distinguish Rouge Pulp as one of the finest collections of recent years. - David St. John ""There's so much grief and anger, awe and laughter and love in these poems - so much of the whole human dynamic - that they could power a small city in the Midwest, with enough juice left over to shock the terminally earnest back to life."" - Elton Glaser ""Poems of the body. Of the immigrant. Of grief. Of motherhood. Of and about beauty. Hart Crane. Otto Plath. Even the last Kennedy. And all of them deeply American. And all of them written with the clear eye and honest speech we have come to expect of Dorothy Barresi."" - Gillian Conoley
