About the Book

Breskin's jaunty, wry--and always spot on--observations of our increasingly outrageous world pull us more deeply into that world, igniting our sense of responsibility, inciting us to act. It's political poetry in the most enabling sense--it reminds us that the political is rooted in the polis--of the citizens; it reminds us that we belong--and that belonging brings not only obligations, but also kinship deep enough to resist what we must. And--hooray hooray!--his clear map of our plummet to imminent disaster also manages to be screamingly funny. --Cole Swensen


Out of the smashup of our vernacular--its mangled memes and wonked-out argot--David Breskin's Timestamp reveals the invaluable quality that Thelonious Monk once called "Ugly Beauty." Even as Breskin takes a good look at the worst, his sentences, lines and phrases stand as triumphs of the imagination. Horrific, vivid, hilarious, and strangely glorious, these are the poems the age deserves. --Peter Campion



About the Author :
Born in Chicago, David Breskin first made his name as a freelance journalist, writing for national magazines such as Rolling Stone, GQ, and LIFE. He has published six books of poetry, including RICHTER 858, a multimedia inquiry into the abstract paintings of Gerhard Richter, with music by Bill Frisell and contributions by thirteen American poets; Supermodel, a one-sentence-long epic poem, or novel-in-verse; and DIRTY BABY, which marries sixty-six ghazals to an equal number of pictures by Ed Ruscha and music by Nels Cline. He has also published a behind-the-scenes account of the recording of "We Are the World"; a novel, The Real Life Diary of a Boomtown Girl; and a compendium of interviews with film directors, Inner Views: Filmmakers in Conversation. Breskin has worked as a record producer since the early '80s. In addition to Frisell and Cline, he's collaborated with leading-edge musicians such as Mary Halvorson, Kris Davis, Craig Taborn, Ingrid Laubrock, Ches Smith and Patricia Brennan. David Breskin lives in San Francisco.
