Accidency by Joel Steven Kuszai continues Roof's tradition of introducing the first major work of new writers to a global audience. This volume collects two poems. "A Miscellany" is a serial poem based on Shakespearean rhetoric that reveals the tragedy of modern consciousness, "At great doom / with gracious benefits." "Brooklyn Yards" does not appear on the surface to be a procedural work, "-I’m afraid to admit it / out of listening- / replacement parts could be a problem." As it progresses Kuszai wonders "why all the murders aren’t connected.
Joel Kuszai teaches literature and writing at Queensborough Community College and is author of Accidency and poetics@ represents the first book of poetics to emerge from an electronic community, including 133 e-mails from 67 writers.
