"Edward Nudelman’s delicious use of math and science language and metaphors combined with his sense of humor and seemingly limitless curiosity…and the sheer loveliness of so many lines…make this a book to re-read, to share with friends and family, and to return to for inspiration, discovery, comfort, and fun."−April Ossmann former director of Alice James Books.
Sir Nudelman,
ReplyDeleteHot, yes. But Not incredibly new. This is our 15th issue.
ps. your poems kick ass!
ReplyDeleteha, new to me, Luc... sorry, I will change!!
ReplyDeleteNice pieces -- like /Josh/ especially -- unwinds like a cool surreal CGI short film.
ReplyDeleteLoved them. Specially Josh.
ReplyDeletefunny, ed. i used to write in this style; love what you've done with it. the poems are great! neat publication too. congrats ~xoxox
ReplyDeleteKudos for these three beautifully crafted and emotionally moving poems published in The Denver Syntax, Edward. The web poetry journal itself is an attractive site, I had not seen it before.
ReplyDeleteI'd read them all before in one form or another, so it was a real treat to see how you'd reworked, edited, and focused your imagery to fit the the themes of existence, consciousness, the senses, the meaning of a life, in "An Old Way To Die." That poem really hit me with a sense of the intensity of dying, of living, and the void left.
The fairy tale like surrealist imagery in "josh" makes us think about what is a brain, a mind, in a radical way, and how we scatter and transform in this world, and yet, still, the feathers from Josh's brain can still dry out, and touch the world with its creative magic as new life ("She then laid four blue eggs."
"Wearing Out" seems sadder then I remember it, and more elegiac, but it perhaps the tightest expression of your lyrical gift to evoke states of consciousness that sing out their wonders and sensory acuity even as the mind that has them unravels.
All in all, reading these poems published here made me feel a flush of pride and joy, seeing your words read by a larger audience.
It was such a thrill to read your poems in Syntax,Ed! I especially loved "Josh" which lets some of us feather-brains know we are still special enough to land somewhere. thanks. Anne grote
