Review 'Raw. Restless. Elegant. Shimmering. Jacques Rancourt's Novena charts the unions and ruins of desire, of love and its many discontents, in vivid landscapes of sonic beauty. These sensual, daring poems explode the confessional mode as they search for the Self and for the father who share the same name. Generations divide and blur like a gorgeous, heaving novel by Garca Mrquez, surreal and delightful and bent, where mythological sirens are made male and lusted after by Odysseus, 'their bodies exposed like oysters.' What is worthy of worship, holy, god-like, these poems boldly ask? Young boys dancing in nightgowns while singing Whitney Houston, a mythical Deerman who shows the speaker how to love the bodies of men, or Our Lady of Dreadlocks whose stubble returns 'like spring grass'? This timeless, boundless speaker warns us, seduces us: 'we are alive//only a short time. What is the purpose/of a field if not to lie in it?'
You will want to read this glorious first book again and again: 'This rapture hallelujah,/this inferno goddamn.''--Hadara Bar-Nadav, Lullaby (with Exit Sign)'Jacques Rancourt is a votary of desire and a faithful disciple to memory. At the edge of winter, upon the dark stairways and icy precipices of longing, this devotional poet finds affirming comfort even in breakage, fire and storm. This is a holy book, a pilgrim's progress of erotic, mystical and terrifying beauty.' --D. A. Powell, Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys'In his astonishing debut collection, Novena, Jacques Rancourt writes, 'I gave to winter what belonged / to winter. The rest I cut free with a knife.' These are poems both numinous and steely, transgressive yet worshipful, the body and the landscape it inhabits on full display. 'Hand of insurrection that resurrects the hem,/ return my self to myself.' This is a poetry that reminds us through its unabashed lyricism that adoration, i.e. love, requires humility. Novena burns with insight.' --Quan Barry, Loose Strife Read more About the Author Jacques J. Rancourt was born in Maine.
