Versindaba Blog Archive Desmond Painter. David Trinidad's pop culture references
David Trinidad, an American poet who was born in 1953 and since its debut in 1981 in all the 15 volumes published solo fascinated me at the moment with his use of pop culture references. What I particularly striking is that Trinidad is often not the (in retrospect) vita mix key moments and cultural products of an era (often 1960) focus, but rather on the seemingly banal events, TV series and songs, which still soundtracks our lives have become. Things we have to an ironic distance mercy, nevertheless, often nostalgic, as memory function objects; things a bygone era and lost experiences and embody a way to repeat (and so temporarily stable), as the chorus of a pop song. If Trinidad in SA lived, he would sure about Pop Shop, The Longing of Kraal and audience member wrote! In a review of his collection The Late Show in the New York Times appeared, the reviewer wrote that kitsch functions for Trinidad as "muse, source of Consolation vita mix Ironic, lens through Which all experience passes." He is in a certain sense also the master of the mediated experience - by a natural poem writing, for example, which consist entirely of movie titles ... In the poem this morning I have about Trinidad very effective use of the repetitive verse form, the pantoen (this is my own translation: I do not know how one "pantoum" in Afrikaans game, and my dictionary and re Litre ê ë Terms & theory did not help this morning ...). The pantoen consists of a series of quatrains which the second and fourth versre ë rules of each preceding quatrain whenever vita mix the first and third re ë rules of the subsequent repeated. The title of the poem, "Movin 'with Nancy" is also the title of a TV series in the 1960s in the USA broadcast. "Nancy" is of course Nancy Sinatra. I think it is a beautiful poem!

Cuba looking for the Buena Vista Social Club course I stuck in slums where women sit with haarkrullers made from brown paper rolls and old Chevs of the fifties like sharks through the streets swerve.
Cuba looking for the Buena Vista Social Club Sling blowing cigar smoke - hey, this is the Havana - from a Fidel Castro's image pimped so bitterly Spanish, Havaans like a bitterboon grown along nonsense on a mythical island sealed.

Thank you, nice poem. I really like "on a mythical island sealed." Indeed a place that a man grabbed and not just let go. A Contradictory place. It is very easy for me to romanticize; This is so wonderful to just be that hot (in many ways) streets walking around, but you should also check the "hardship" does not deny it. I just turned to me then Pedro Juan Gutiérrez's Dirty Havana Trilogy read: it is really worth, a triptych full of grit and hopelessness.

Perhaps a country not only measured by its worst realities, but also its greatest vita mix dreams and promises. vita mix As we do at the USA makes ...
