Laughing Butcher Berlin Blues

0/5 ( ratings)

"Mark Terrill accomplishes a difficult feat in Laughing Butcher Berlin Blues: prose poems of expansive range yet exacting focus. This is real-time poetry, in which the events and thought processes described unfold in the same interval it takes to read about them. The result is a collection of 28 meticulously recorded observations in which scenery serves to direct a quicksilver flow of associative thought. Terrill calls our attention equally to urgencies like globalization and pollution as well as the "subtle cinematic shifts" of German sunlight, all the while tracking resolutely each "momentary realization" sparked by sensory phenomena. Laughing Butcher Berlin Blues shows Terrill at his most perceptive and connective, employing perfect blocks of text which seem to have been grafted from the nebulous atmosphere of thought, pressurized and framed on the page. These poems invite us into the world of an attentive observer whose intellect is as unrestricted as his language is precise."--Stephen B. Delbos
