In the Murmurs of the Rotten Carcass Economy by Daniel Borzutzky
Daniel Borzutzky, whose work Eileen Myles calls violent, perverse, tender, offers a bracing new book that confronts violent action, from state sponsored torture and the bombing of civilians and other non-essential personnel to the collapse of the global economy, the barbarism of corporate greed, data fascism, and the deaths of immigrants attempting to cross borders. His book confronts the various horrors of our contemporary landscape through a poetry that literalizes violence, that seeks to find emotional connection and personal meaning in a world that is always exploding.
DANIEL BORZUTZKY’S previous books include The Book of Interfering Bodies and The Ecstasy of Capitulation. His poetry translations include Raúl Zurita’s The Country of Planks and Song for his Disappeared Love, and Jaime Luis Huenún’s Port Trakl. His work has been recognized by grants from the PEN American Center and the National Endowment for the Arts. He lives in Chicago and teaches at Wright College of the City Colleges of Chicago.
