The poems in this dark and hopeful book evoke a ghostly quality, as if reaching for the ethereal might make the tangible more vital, as if we must always bring along our ghosts. Strange elements float in this suspension: cake and pliers, dragonflies and faucets, creation and keys. The hands-on material of these poems rushes forward all at once, lifted and hurled by the sense that the cosmos is a great metaphysical flood. These are strange compositions, indeed, but they recognize with great force that the world itself is strangely composed.
Maurice Manning
There are many poets who go by the name Laurie Saurborn Young in CARNAVORIA. Some tender, some teasing, some sassy, some will break your heart. All of them impossible to say enough about. Read these poems. Let them offer their means of transport. Patient, quick, gentle, ornery, calm, tough, surprising, loving, fearless and fierce, generous, frank, clear and true. Here is the best inch in view.

:: Ben Kopel. VICTORY. Preorder NOW ::
PRE-ORDER NOW :: Ships in March
Meteoric as pop songs, as fist-fights between best friends, Ben Kopel’s poems blaze out like declarations of love and vendetta spray-painted on overpasses. Victory is raw and tender as a crying-jag, while being full of a new savagery’s swagger and grace.

Kiss me in the parking lot says this punk werewolf blade-wielding blankety-blank singing kick-ass ZAP BANG hardcore firefighter Victim #4. Oh my God my friends and & his heart is true and it is populated with wild dogs/ & missing children. All true. As are Kopel’s ways he offers us to be with. VICTORY says poetry, says poems may be what we need. Blessings to you, Ben Kopel, for telling us all you do. And one more thing, for giving us the possibility/of a Dixie cup/filled with water/from a Japanese glacier.

When I was a kid my mother said you could name the clouds. REALLY? “Sure Kiddo, go ahead and name them!” I’ve just finished reading Ben Kopel’s new book VICTORY and intend to name these clouds I see today VICTORY BY BEN! My darkness, it expanded // to fill the space provided, like a melody / or a metal rod placed in a loved one. I want to place this book inside you, and I mean that in a nice way. If you don’t understand how to love this book then I don’t know if I’m going to be able to talk to you, ever, again, seriously.
