Alex Lemon is one of our nation's hottest younger poets, and this new book is a welcome follow-up to Mosquito (Tin House, 2006). Documenting the poet's experience with brain surgery, this collection is written in a bitter-tough lyric that is infused with a fierce appreciation for human experience. Alex Lemon's work defies categorization. Stark juxtaposition of images evokes the New York School, verbal collages suggest the associative method of the postmodernists, and his playful attention to sound recalls elements of Language School poetry. While these elements surface in Lemon's work, his poetry remains profoundly original, his voice remarkably distinct. Lemon is also, like Frank O'Hara, an autobiographical poet, using the materials of life for inspiration. At 29, he is already a survivor of brain surgery. Still coping with the surgery's effects, including a gradual loss of vision, he invokes, proclaims, decries, and serenades the world that results after the violation of identity. When the membranes that divide mind and body rupture, the result is not a void, but a strange sensory landscape where all stimuli exist on the same level. Avoiding the easy temptations of both despair and consolation, Hallelujah Blackout embraces the full range of the human experience. | Hallelujah Blackout by Alex Lemon, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
