Synopsis "Lying Like Presidents: New and Selected Poems 2001-2019 "

The linked cantos comprising "Lying Like Presidents" are a kind of echolalia in the service of anonymity. Echolalia, usually associated either with a child learning to speak or a disorder, here is a matter of conscience in a poet who craves anonymity in honor of cosmic oneness but remains craven enough to rely on his name, his vita. The cantos are also a paean to two childhood friends whose echolalia enchanted him and now haunts him. The cantos are followed by poems selected from Marbrook's twelve earlier poetry collections.I don't know anyone else whose writing increases in agility and breadth over time as Marbrook's does. --Lee Gould, editor, La Presa, the Embajadoro Press poetry journalDjelloul Marbrook's previous works have won critical acclaim and prestigious prizes, including the 2007 Stan and Tom Wick Poetry Prize, the 2010 International Book Award in poetry, and the 2008 Literal Latté fiction prize. As a journalist, poet, writer and activist, he has invested his talent and intellect in an artistic voice exemplifying the best qualities of humanity. Through an engaging, well reasoned and powerfully clear voice, he gives flight to a spiritual awakening and casts a haunting light on the canon of American poetry.
