Description
By: Todd Colby
Colby's Tremble and Shine is the first full-length collection since his new and selected Riot in the Charm Factory. Tremble & Shine moves from poem to fiction to reportage, from the grinning skull of Poe to Lenny Bruce’s adenoids to a rhythm of repetition that is entirely Colby you break it down and repeat and re-form till it’s like this dance that can’t stop, this cementmixer you cannot escape from, the eternal pound.
The anger that drives the world is Todd Colby’s poetry. The tension of the murderous performer vs. the tightly packed poetic form is a spiritual thing. In Todd’s whirling art spasms, God herself is actually being created, visioned, and visited. Todd’s poems, blasphemous and heinous and pus-filled and covered with mugwort and lysergic acid as they are, are all prayers.
One of Soft Skull's original poets comes through with a collection of lyrical and awe-inspiring poems, and addresses everything from the acid-trip qualities of outdoor camping to the need to righteously rock, against all odds.
