Splay Anthem PDF
By:Nathaniel Mackey
Published on 2006 by New Directions Publishing
In a stunning new collection of poems of transport and transcendence, African-American poet Nathaniel Mackey's |asthmatic song of aspiration| scuttles across cultures and historiesfrom America to Andalucia, from Ethiopia to Viennain a sexy, beautiful adaptive dance. Part antiphonal rant, part rhythmic whisper, Nathaniel Mackey's new collection of poems, Splay Anthem, takes the reader to uncharted poetic spaces. Divided into three sections|Braid,| |Fray,| and |Nub| (one referent Mackey notes in his stellar Introduction: |the imperial, flailing republic of Nub the United States has become, the shrunken place the earth has become, planet Nub|)Splay Anthem weaves together two ongoing serial poems Mackey has been writing for over twenty years, Song of the Andoumboulou and |Mu| (though |mu no more itself / than Andoumboulou|). In the cosmology of the Dogon of West Africa, the Andoumboulou are progenitor spirits, and the song of the Andoumboulou is a song addressed to the spirits, a funeral song, a song of rebirth. |Mu,| too, splays with meaning: muni bird, Greek muthos, a Sun Ra tune, a continent once thought to have existed in the Pacific. With the vibrancy of a Mira painting, Mackey's poems trace the lost tribe of |we| through waking and dreamtime, through a multitude of geographies, cultures, histories, and musical traditions, as poetry here serves as the intersection of everything, myth's music, spirit lift.
