Cornfry
By Rich Perin
Go on, type Cornfry and a red squiggle will underline it. Computers, smart phones, and the algorithmic laws regard Cornfry as different, not common, something that should be corrected, to fit in.
Proud to be out of those frames, poetry is out in the wild with this collection. Hup hup, let’s ride.
RIYL: Dirt. Waterbeds. Road trips. Fireflies.
“Rich Perin’s Cornfry is a feast of language. These poems are saturated with the exuberant momentum of a writer whose breath is so present in the page that even when read silently, you cannot help but hear a rhythm compelling you through this book. Perin’s poems are rooted in presence and the specificity of place, rambling through the south and West Coast of North America with a keen eye that captures both the mundane and the grandiose equally and relishes in sound and detail. Odes and laments are equally bestowed on scenes of the everyday in a landscape that is rooted in the present but feels ever-aware of history running always beneath the surface. Pick up Cornfry and buckle up for an unforgettable ride.” – Carolyn Supinka, author of Metamorphic Door
