Brooklyn Antediluvian: Poems

Brooklyn Antediluvian: Poems

Winner of the 2017 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize
Patrick Rosalâ€™s brilliant fourth collection of poems is ignited by the frictions of our American moment. In the face of relentless violence and deepening racial division, Rosal responds with his own brand of bare-knuckled beauty.
Rosal finds trouble he isnâ€™t asking for in his unforgettable new poems, whether in New York City, Austin, Texas, or the colonized Philippines of his ancestors. But trouble is everywhere, and Rosal, acclaimed author of My American Kundiman, responds in kind, pulling no punches in his most visceral, physical collection to date. â€œMy handâ€™s quick trip from my hip to your chin, across / your face, is not the first free lesson Iâ€™ve given,â€ Rosal writes, and itâ€™s trueâ€•this new book is full of lessons, hard-earned, from a poet who nonetheless finds beauty in the face of violence.
