About this product
Product Information
Rex Wilder's second collection introduces the world to a new form: the boomerang, a four-line nouveau haiku, an anti-Tweet that aims for permanence in an evanescent world. These \u201cadmirable throwaways\u201d (so nicknamed by Richard Wilbur, who advised the author on their shape) must rhyme the first word or syllable with the last. The opening salvo must suggest a coda, the bullet must return to its chamber. In the process, the poem moves like a boomerang: according to Wilbur, \u201ca thrown boomerang has three phases: it flies to first base (as it were), then travels over to third and rises, then swoops home.\u201d Boomerangs in the Living Room catches in its sweep literature's classic themes: love, death, family, sex. The poems that come swooping back are seductive, destructive, endlessly quotable, and heartbreakingly beautiful.
