Blurb-o-Rama: Claudia Rankine on Sky Lounge

Date November 30, 2009

Blurb-o-Rama: blurbs that make me laugh, or cry, or something…

Claudia Rankine blurbs Mark Bibbins’ book of poems Sky Lounge:

Imagine Vladimir and Estragon have slipped into our century and become so thoroughly distracted by piped music that Godot is the one who waits. This is the world Mark Bibbins has achieved in the phenomenal _Sky Lounge_. Here are narcotic ambles that refuse to position, fix or point us in any final direction. Time, these poems rakishly understand, will never run out. Or it is better to run out on time than to connect the self to that which is mortal. A remarkable achievement.
