{"product_id":"brother-6","title":"Brother","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA dual-authored volume of poems from the multi-award winning Dickman twins - leading voices in America''s outstanding generation of younger poets.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the brothers extol differing inspirations (Matthew writes with the ebullience of Frank O''Hara, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, Michael with the control of William Carlos Williams and Emily Dickinson), they are unified by the unflinching, remarkable verse they wrote when their older sibling tragically took his own life. It is these moving, grieving but life-affirming poems that solely comprise this dual-authored volume. Published in an inventive \u003ci\u003etête-bêche \u003c\/i\u003eedition, the poems appear head-to-toe, communing in the middle, making \u003ci\u003eBrother \u003c\/i\u003ea searing but ultimately up-lifting journey of grief, love and family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e''Michael''s poems are interior, fragmentary, and austere, often stripped down to single-word lines; they seethe with incipient violence. Matthew''s are effusive, ecstatic, and all-embracing, spilling over with pop-cultural references and exuberant carnality . . . together, the resonance of the work is amplified.'' \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatthew Dickman is the author of \u003ci\u003eAll-American Poem\u003c\/i\u003e (2008), \u003ci\u003e50 American Plays\u003c\/i\u003e (co-written with his twin brother Michael Dickman, 2012), \u003ci\u003eMayakovsky''s Revolver\u003c\/i\u003e (2012),\u003ci\u003eWish You Were Here\u003c\/i\u003e (2013) and \u003ci\u003e24 HOURS\u003c\/i\u003e (2014).
