Description
Weak Linkby Rob Halpern (Atelos, paperback)
Publication Date: January 15, 2019
Publisher Marketing:Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. WEAK LINK is an interstitial work containing poems, poem-essays, prose sequences, letters, translations, exercises, and manifestos. Everything collected in it has been recovered from the faults and cracks within and between four booksRUMORED PLACE, DISASTER SUITES, MUSIC FOR PORN and COMMON PLACEwhich together comprise one long serial work. No book can ever contain itself, so while the work included in WEAK LINK has not been moored to any of the aforementioned titles, it remains integral to the larger canvass this work exceeds.
A critical essay on WEAK LINK’s title sequence, called “Contemporary Lyric and Epic Constraints: A Reading of Rob Halpern’s Weak Link,” by John Wilkinson, appeared inChicago Review55:2 (Spring 2010).
