Julie Kane
Jazz Funeral
Following the success of her first two volumes, Body and Soul and Rhythm and Booze, Julie Kane has written a brilliant new book that proves once again how surprisingly vital the sonnet can be. From the transgressive "Bitch" to "Mockingbird" with its "pretty girl in crosshairs of a gun," Kane's opening sequence parallels the jazz funeral's "March to the Graveyard," mordant without ever slipping into the maudlin, highly spiced and knowing.
