Turn Up the Ocean by Tony Hoagland
Over the course of his celebrated career, Tony Hoagland ventured fearlessly into the unlit alleys of emotion and experience. The poems in Turn Up the Ocean examine with an unflinching eye and mordant humor the reality of living and dying in a time and culture that conspire to erase our inner lives. Hoagland's signature wit and unparalleled observations take in long-standing injustices, the atrocities of American empire and consumerism, and our ongoing habit of looking away. In these poems, perseverance depends on a gymnastics of skepticism and comedy, a dogged quest for authentic connection, and the consolations of the natural world. Turn Up the Ocean is a remarkable and moving collection, a fitting testament to Hoagland's devotion to the capaciousness and art of poetry.
Tony Hoagland (1953-2018) was the author of six poetry collections, including Donkey Gospel (1998), winner of the James Laughlin Award; What Narcissism Means to Me (2003), a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award; Unincorporated Persons in the Late Honda Dynasty (2010); and Priest Turned Therapist Treats Fear of God (2018). His two previous essay collections are Real Sofistakashun (2006) and Twenty Poems That Could Save America and Other Essays (2014). He received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, as well as the Folger Shakespeare Library's O. B. Hardison Prize for Poetry and Teaching, the Poetry Foundation's Mark Twain Award, and the Jackson Poetry Prize from Poets & Writers. Hoagland taught at the University of Houston and the Warren Wilson MFA program.
