Ebook PDF Bender, by Dean Young
"Young's Bender is a book of survival and strength, of seeing even in the smallest things the heights of what we can be. That's as good a definition of contemporary poetry as any."—NPR
"This book reads like a long, breathless thank you for life's seemingly random jumble of beauty, strangeness, tenderness, and joy."—Los Angeles Times
"The reader's mind shoots through [Young's poems] like the steel ball in a pinball machine, dinging around, racking up points. Dean's poems are amazingly fun."—BOMB
Bender gathers the abundant treasure from Dean Young's twelve volumes. Strongly influenced by Surrealism, Young's poems flash with extravagant imagery, humorous speech, sly views of the quotidian, mercurial hip-shake shifts, and exposed nerves of heartache.
From "Commencement Address":
I love you for shattering.Someone has to. Just as someonehas to announce inadvertentlythe end of grief or spring'ssplurge even as the bureaucrat'sspittoon overflows. Someone has to come outthe other end of the labyrinthsaying, What's the big deal?Someone has to spend all day staringat the data from outer spaceor separating the receiptsor changing the sheets in sour room after room.I like it when the end of the toilet paperis folded into a point.I like napkins folded into swansbecause I like wiping my mouth on swans…
Dean Young has published twelve books of poetry, including finalists for the Pulitzer Prize and Griffin Award. He teaches at the University of Texas and lives in Austin.

Bender: New and Selected Poems, by Dean Young By Sandro Griffiths Usually I gravitate to Medieval or Early Modern poetry but, on a moment's fad, I decided to give modern poetry a quick look. There I found Young's collection of selected poems and discovered a genius! Beautifully timed, raw passion and pace, and, most importantly: courage! John Donne (C17th, English), whose work, I find, tough, challenging but absolutely well worth persuing, could be, I think, a precurser to Young's work. I can't say better than this.

After reading his Bender: New and Selected Poems, I would say that he’s much more readable (or “communicative,” “accessible,” or “meaningful, “ to use other terms we’ve somehow come to suspect) than Ashbery, and not as much fun as Koch, possibly because of his ever-present focus on entropy and death. I’m not sure I would associate him with O’Hara at all. I would here and there also invoke Albert Goldbarth, although Goldbarth is more expansive and shares none of Young’s negativity. On more than one occasion reading Young I recalled Elizabeth Bishop’s signature “awful but cheerful.”What carries you through in so many of Young’s poems, in spite of a repetitive grimness, is his startling inventiveness and originality and his fresh and energetic language, which is fully his own and needs to be compared to no one else’s.The new and selected poems are intermixed, in alphabetical order by title, for the first time I know of in any such collection. As a final nose-thumbing to convention, in lieu of an index of first lines there is a “findex” of last lines, including the memorable last line of ”I See A Lily OnThy Brow.”Here’s that one:It is 1816 and you gash your hand unloadinga crate of geese, but if you keep workingyou’ll be able to buy a bucket of beerwith your potatoes. You’re probably 14 althoughno one knows for sure and the whore you sometimessleep with could be your younger sisterand when your hand throbs to twice its sizeturning the fingernails green, she knotsa poultice of mustard and turkey greasebut the next morning, you wake to a yellowworld and stumble through the London streetsuntil your head implodes like suffocatedfire stuffing your nose with rancid smoke.Somehow you’re removed to Guy’s Infirmary.'It’s Tuesday. The surgeon will demonstrate'on Wednesday and you’re the demonstration.Five guzzles of brandy then they hoist youinto the theater, into the trapped droneand humid scuffle, the throng of studentsa single body staked with a thousand peeringbulbs and the doctor begins to saw. Of courseyou’ll die in a week, suppurating on a camphor-soaked sheet, but now you scream and scream,plash in a red river, in sulfuric steambut above you, the assistant holding you downtrying to fix you with sad, electric eyes'is John Keats.In another poem, “Rubber Typewriter,” Young comes up with this:Maybe you will sit on the tablewhile the doctor says your heart is regurgitating, on the wallscertificates of learning to talk like that.'

A wonderful read. The only complaint I have though is just the sheer size of the book. Young is very prolific, which means you'll have to do some digging to find the gems in this collection.
