"The best collection of poetry I've read this year to date is Becoming Weather by Chris Martin. It's confident, bold, excavating and it all feels natural." -- Bran Foley, HTML Giant "[Chris Martin] feels his way toward a sense of existence that embraces but is not confined to the intellect. The honesty and rigor of this pilgrimage leads Martin to an almost euphoric state: ‘I try/so hard to exact/things and am so densely/removed/from them, but every once/in a while I see fit/to absorb a weightless/answer, an answer without/volume, because/light is there!' This is a surprising and insightful book." -- Bob Hicok "Punctured as he is, Martin never loses the whole for the part: ‘Let's say I found // my whole body's thought,' he says, as he deftly stitches his bright song through the gaps." -- Eleni Sikelanos "Chris Martin's airy, confident poems interview clouds and eye details in the forms other bodies hold, the spaces between them and perils therein. He is working with deftness in that rich terrain where a totalizing instability is met by the musical surety necessary to begin breaking it down." -- Anselm Berrigan " Becoming Weather is significant in that it addresses the dual registers of human experience, the instant and the infinite, by poems which both contain and enact this duality. . . . Martin's vocation is to voice the inspired moments of his existence, to sing the correspondence between instance and infinity, between spots of time and high virtues, between epiphanies close at hand and the void beyond what is not at hand."-- Sugar House Review "[ Becoming Weather ] concludes with the section ‘Coda,' which consists of one poem, ‘Being Of,' where the author finally determines the ‘answer' so that ‘soon / enough we can return to / our entanglements.' Whether the entanglements of our lives are less than the entanglements and philosophical musings of the collection is hard to say; Becoming Weather sweeps up the reader into the tumultuous, mind versus body, world of the speaker."-- NewPages "Chris Martin's latest, Becoming Weather, gives voice to his own attempt at maintaining his balance in the multiplicity of chaos, an uncommon talent increasingly practical in our culture's discombobuilated post-9/11 era, where every point of view his evidence to prove it, regardless of veracity. . . . Put simply, he speaks from the edge in a voice you understand." -- Denver Examiner, The best collection of poetry I've read this year to date is Becoming Weather by Chris Martin. It's confident, bold, excavating and it all feels natural." — Bran Foley, HTML Giant Becoming Weather isn't poetry as post-structuralist paraphrase, it's a book about being-in-the-middle: of courtship, a New York commute, global crisis, phenomena and the moments of attention they attract. . . .

Synopsis
Chris Martin details daily delights, sidewalks and subways, and bulldogs at the park, giving equal attention to all. In his poems, the reader witnesses the fragmentation of the speaker's mind into particles swirling and waltzing until eventually rising into the atmosphere. Do you explain ice by acting slippery? Simply by moving we implicate the hoax Chris Martin is the author of American Music , selected by C.D. Wright for the Hayden Carruth Award, and was named one of the Poetry Society of America's New American Poets in 2010. He currently lives in New York., Blending Frank O'Hara's keen eye and Jeff Tweedy's heartache, this collection celebrates urban America, in its bustling, maddening glory.

- l***c (227)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoBook came packaged well to avoid damage, in great condition. Not sure if the seller delayed shipping or if usps didn’t update the shipping, which is highly likely. Still received and we are happy with our purchase. I had trouble looking up tracking due to the company they used but seller found usps tracking and sent that over quickly. Sellers communication was excellent. Would buy from again. Item as described.
- t***n (2908)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI don't give negatives; However, description was not correct; No price guide was included in this book.As you will see in book pic shown; title states price guide included, no price guide inside. Communication poor, description, no communication price guide missing from this book. Shipping time was weeks before it was even shipped. Blamed the shipping on warehouse. You own & operate a business; your warehouse is not up to standards you change who you do business with. It's your responsibility.
- -***6 (133)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItem arrived as described and adequately packaged. Ridiculously long shipping time. Seller posts incorrect tracking number and lists the item as shipped. Contacted seller for correct tracking, received a new tracking number with the warning that the number won’t be “live” until the item is shipped. Will you get your item? Yeah, probably. Count on it being delivered 2-3 weeks longer than expected.
