Synopsis

Poetry. In his newest collection of prose poems, Trouble with the Machine, Christopher Kennedy again takes us on a tour of his brilliantly odd-ball world, a world where town hall meetings turn into blood-baths, where God calls on the telephone to check in with mortals who are calmly ironing their souls in the kitchen, where wounds aren't merely worn on the sleeve but actually attend parties to pick fights with the other guests. Kennedy's poetry is fiercely comic, deliciously irreverent, and a welcome oasis in the dry landscape of modern poetry. Christopher Kennedy's writing has appeared or will appear in many journals and magazines, including Grand Street, Ploughshares, McSweeney's, and Mississippi Review. He received a poetry fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts in 1999 and a Constance Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts grant in 1997.
