This Is Me, Not Robert Creeley, Speaking
Paul Bussan, author
Adult; General Fiction (including literary and historical); (Market)
A book of poetry in which the author, in his own way, attempts to capture that “calculated spacing” and “passionate compression” which Dudley Fitts cited as the virtues of Robert Creeley’s first book of poetry For Love, and in which the poetry is not so much found in the poems themselves as in the spirit animating them.
Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“…Bussan’s compression works well, like pressure that creates diamonds; “Bonnie and Clyde” is one such jewel, reading in full: “Other than / the robbing / and the killing / and the running / and the ending, the way / it should be.”
The Midwest Book Review
“Whimsical, thought-provoking, deftly crafted, "This Is Me, Not Robert Creeley, Speaking " clearly showcases Paul Bussan's genuine flair for deftly crafted, succinct, and memorable free verse. This brief compendium of his work is very highly recommended for personal reading lists.”
-The Midwest Book Review, June, 2017
