Reseña del libro "White Lily (Volume 89) (The Hugh Maclennan Poetry Series) (en Inglés)"

Why are my problems / always the worst? // And why / because I wrote that / do you think I don't believe it? White Lily is John Emil Vincent's love note to Louise Glück and Laurie Anderson, two artists inspired and bedevilled by white lilies. Under their spell the poet dives into parable, fable, received wisdom, compact discs, and ruined utopias like a gleeful truant child. The white lily is ever present - its meanings, messages, and seductive scent. The collection begins with a meditation on Anderson's song "White Lily" and its treatment of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's fourteen-hour film Berlin Alexanderplatz. It goes on to ponder whether, if we take them in earnest, our mistakes come to serve as the surest sign of seriousness. Throughout, Vincent's poems trouble what's exact and exacting, always with the white lily as companion, a promise of rebirth delivered in funeral tones.
