  | | The Art of Recklessness(10th Edition) Poetry as Assertive Force and Contradiction by Dean Young Paperback, 144 Pages, Published 2010 by Graywolf Press ISBN-13: 978-1-55597-562-3, ISBN: 1-55597-562-3 "In "The Art of Recklessness," Dean Young's sprawling and subversive first book of prose on poetry, imagination swerves into primitivism and surrealism and finally toward empathy. How can recklessness guide the poet, the artist, and the reader into art, and how can it excite in us a sort of wild receptivity, beyond craft? "Poetry is not a discipline," Young writes. "It is a hunger, a revolt, a drive, a mash note, a fright, a tantrum, a g ..." |
 | | Elegy On Toy Piano(1st Edition) (Pitt Poetry Series) by Dean Young Paperback, 104 Pages, Published 2005 by University Of Pittsburgh Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-5872-7, ISBN: 0-8229-5872-4 "In Elegy on Toy Piano, Dean Young's sixth book of poems, elegiac necessity finds itself next to goofy celebration. Daffy Duck enters the Valley of the Eternals. Faulkner and bell-bottoms cling to beauty's evanescence. Even in single poems, Young's tone and style vary. No one feeling or idea takes precedence over another, and their simultaneity is frequently revealed; sadness may throw a squirrelly shadow, joy can find itself dressed in ..." |
 | | Skid(1st Edition) (Pitt Poetry Series) by Dean Young Paperback, 110 Pages, Published 2002 by University Of Pittsburgh Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-5780-5, ISBN: 0-8229-5780-9 "Dean Young is one of the premier surrealist poets writing today. In Skid, his fifth book of poems, social outrage vies with comic excess. He embraces the autobiographical urge with fury and musically lush exclamations. Whether through the dark facts of mortality or the celebratory surprises of the imagination, these poems proclaim vitality and alertness, wasting nothing. From Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner’s "Meep! Meep!" to remembra ..." |
 | | First Course In Turbulence(1st Edition) (Pitt Poetry Series) by Dean Young, Ed Ochester Paperback, 112 Pages, Published 1999 by University Of Pittsburgh Press ISBN-13: 978-0-8229-5697-6, ISBN: 0-8229-5697-7 "Finalist for "ForeWord Magazine" 1999 Poetry Book of the Year With rapid shifts between subject and tone, sometimes within single poems, Dean Young s latest book explores the kaleidoscopic welter of art and life. Here parody does not exclude the "cri de coeur" any more than seriousness excludes the joke. With surrealist volatility, these poems are the result of experiments that continue for the reader during each reading. Young moves f ..." |

He has been variously called a New Age surrealist, son of the New York School, a comically tragic poet who knows the pain at the heart of a joke, a lunatic, a stuffed bunny, and a fire engine of the Romantic imagination. But if these things are true, they come at us in a unique, compelling, warm, funny, poignant, and sometimes cracked voice. Each of his poems is an ena ..." |

Minutes later, I was banished from my own car by bared teeth and bristled fur, caught in the rain and dripping wet, foiled by the very creature whose cause I had just championed.

He has spent years "in a steel cage counting syllables." Come now. Count with him." |
