Beschreibung
An unflinching reckoning with the traumas of one's life and those inherited through a history of exacted injustices Some men find nothing, and others / find omens everywhere, writes C. Dale Young in Prometeo, a collection whose speaker is a proverbial child of fire. In poems that thrive off of their distinct voice, the speaker confronts generational and lived trauma and their relationship to his multi-ethnicity. We are presented with the idea of the past s burial in the body and its constellatory manifestations both in the speaker and those around him in disease and pain, but also in strength and a capacity for intimacy with others and nature. Grounded in precise language, Young s examination of the past and its injuries turns into a celebration of the self. In stark, exuberant relief, the speaker proclaims I was splendidly blended, genetically engineered / for survival. Resilient, Young s poems find beauty in landscape, science, and meditation.
