Summary: The Wind Beneath My Wings
Comment: Yes, his poetry sustains my life! Alan Michael Parker is the American answer to Tennyson's query about the true nature of the metaphysical order of logos. His poems ARE a thing of beauty when you read them. They reverberate from soul to soul, heart to heart, and wing to wing. Go out and buy this life affirming book!

Summary: Words that work.
Comment: In his book of poems about the vandals, Alan Michael Parker builds his poems like rooms. They become physical spaces to enter and exit, where the vandals act out their impulses. The narratives follow the raucous bunch through several situations, sometimes violent, often indulgently fun. Parker plays games with sounds that beg to be read aloud. The Vandals is speckled with wit, and it is deceptively simple on the surface; stepping further into the poems, however, reveals the complex layers. Parker makes his words work, but I believe they enjoy their job.

Summary: Stretching the boundaries of poetry
Comment: Alan Michael Parker's The Vandals is a startling, fantastic book that holds up to read after calculating read, amazing the reader both with its cheekiness and how tightly knit the poetry is as hidden, unsuspected levels of poetry are revealed with every new look. It has pulled me into unimagined levels as both an aspiring poet and a reader of poetry, making me aware of levels of consciousness both briding and standing between the poet and the reader, the poem and its subject, the characters involved in the poems themselves, and I'm sure even more relationships that I haven't considered yet.
