Reseña del libro "The Inflatable Life (en Inglés)"

Poetry. Mark Laba's second full-length poetry collection--his first in seventeen years--recreates the structure of the old variety shows he watched on TV as a child. Much of the imagery plays across the broad spectrum of these popular cultural tropes, albeit many lost or forgotten in the vault of broadcast history. In THE INFLATABLE LIFE, the reader will find a little singing, a little dancing, a little drama, a little comedy, a little experimentation, all rooted in a veritable grab-bag of far-ranging influences. Laba draws on everything from gritty pulp fiction to Borscht Belt humour, from dime-store ventriloquism to twelve-cent comic books (the long poem Tolstoy's Leech Farm is riddled with Laba's own comic drawings). He hurls these surprising and sometimes shocking vaudeville narratives from the peak of the Jewish Alps, and even his most extreme language experiments entertain. Some may call these surreal poems literary atrocities, while others hail them as lyricism for an impossible century--but if Mark Laba didn't write these poems, no one else would.
