Mayakovsky's Revolver: Poems

From a dazzling, award-winning young poet, a collection that paints life as a celebration in the dark.
At the center of Mayakovskyâ€™s Revolver is the suicide of Matthew Dickmanâ€™s older brother. â€œKnown for poems of universality of feeling, expressive lyricism of reflection, and heartrending allureâ€ (Major Jackson), Dickman is a powerful poet whose new collection explores how to persevere in the wake of grief.

from â€œMayakovskyâ€™s Revolverâ€

I keep thinking about the way
blackberries will make the mouth
of an eight year old look like heâ€™s a ghost
thatâ€™s been shot in the face. In the dark I can see
my older brother walking through the tall brush
of his brain. I can see him standing
in the lobby of the hotel,
alone, crying along with the ice machine.
