Romantic Comedy by James Allen Hall (English) Paperback Book

Description: Romantic Comedy by James Allen Hall Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description James Allen Hall returns to poetry with Romantic Comedy, a sophomore collection sounding the parameters of genre to subvert cultural notions of literary value and artistic legitimacy. What realities do stories authorize, and which remain untold? "This story," they profess in "Biography," "is mine: there was / a wound, then a world." Rather than playing into the attention economys appetite for sensationalism, Halls poems resist the formulaic while paying homage to the oeuvre, a formal balancing act that celebrates queer life.The poems create liberatory narratives that break constraints or speak through them. Hall parses music from the blizzard -- as when "one year / [they] watched the snow / pile to [their] door / all December, all / January," "the year [they] wanted / to die," and, faced with winters architecture, "learned / another song. Sang / another way." Whether grieving the death of their father, documenting the survival of sexual assault, interrogating the scripts of addiction, or revisiting an 80s crime thriller, Halls second collection constantly affirms the ingenuity of self-definition as a technology of survival. Author Biography James Allen Hall (he/they) lives in Chestertown, MD and is the author of a previous book of poems, Now Youre the Enemy, and I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well, a book of lyric essays. They direct the Rose ONeill Literary House at Washington College.
