Beschreibung
The sophomore visual poetry collection from Sarah J. Sloat, whose Hotel Almighty. was a 2020 NYT. Editors’ Choice pick. Classic Crimes. is a book of visual poetry sourced from William Roughead’s true-crime 20th century classic of the same name. Roughead’s text is known for its ghastly recountings of murder and deceit, though such gloom is barely detectable under Sloat’s sharp eye and transformative hand. In these erasure poems, each adorned with its own colorful, meandering collage, “public opinion [is] always willing to wink at the picturesque,” and “to sleep…[is] an interlude of little dinners. ” Where mayhem once lived, Sloat invites readers into a brand new world, one blooming with whimsy, play, delight, and cheeky, liberating poetics.
