Title: Pass the Duende, Please
Review: For those who bemaon the death of poetry, this book might let them know that poetry still has a lot of soul, of what Lorca called duende. Traversing all sorts of poetic styles--from traditional forms to short free verse lyrics to prose poems--these are poems with a bit of funk, a lot of heart, and a great ear. Dougherty is able to capture the right bit of working class (the nightshift) and the scholarly (Lorca), and find where the two meet--in poetry, yes, surely; but also in love, in music, in dreaming. This is poetry that dares someone to say the artform is dead or unimportant.
