Mr. West (Wesleyan Poetry Series)

Mr. West (Wesleyan Poetry Series)

Mr. West covers the main events in superstar Kanye Westâ€™s life while also following the poet on her year spent researching, writing, and pregnant. The book explores how we are drawn to celebritiesâ€”to their portrayal in the mediaâ€”and how we sometimes find great private meaning in another personâ€™s public story, even across lines of gender and race. Blakeâ€™s aesthetics take her work from prose poems to lineated free verse to tightly wound lyrics to improbably successful sestinas. The poems fully engage pop culture as a strange, complicated presence that is revealing of America itself. This is a daring debut collection and a groundbreaking work. An online readerâ€™s companion will be available at http://sarahblake.site.wesleyan.edu.
