Taste of Cherry (The Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry)
Used Book in Good Condition
In Kara Candito’s prize-winning debut collection a “garish/human theatre†comes to life against richly textured geographic and psychic landscapes. These poems are high-speed meditations on a world where Walter Benjamin meets the “glitzy chain-link of Chanel scarves†and Puccini’s Tosca meets the din of the Times Square subway station. Ferociously witty and intensely lyrical, Taste of Cherry speaks to us in a language that is simultaneously private and public, sensual and cerebral.
