The extended title of Evan Kennedy’s new poetry book: I am, am I, to trust the joy that joy is no more or less there now than before describes his subtractive memoir, removing particulars such as time and place to reveal the operations of a spirit and the body it animates. Short lyric essays meditate on routines and habits, as well as elusive pleasures like reading and travel. These topics serve as prompts for exercises of attention and examination of its lapses. Deeper into the book, the speaker’s anatomy is pared away, resulting in a voice engaged in direct address, attempting devotion.
Evan Kennedy is a poet and bicyclist residing in San Francisco. He is the author of five previous titles. He runs the occasional press, Dirty Swan Projects, and was born in Beacon, New York, in 1983.
