The Improbable Swervings of Atoms pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Winner of the 2004 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry "The Improbable Swervings of Atoms" follows the comedic, often painful, physical and emotional travails of a young boy growing up in 1950s America.andnbsp; He watches the McCarthy hearings, conquers the Congo, assassinates the president, has his head stuffed into a toilet, drops his uniform on the fifty-yard line, and tries to make sense of Lucretiusandrsquo; s De Rerum Natura. The poems engage history in a very intimate way, revealing how a boy, as he matures, attempts to understand the world around him, his own physical development, the people in his life, and what it means to live in a country and time where it is impossible to disengage oneself from world eventsandmdash; where, in fact, the quest for identity is an act that requires one to rewrite history in personal terms.
