Selected for the 2007 National Poetry Series by Naomi Shihab Nye
The prose poems in Installations invite the reader to encounter, in one extraordinary afternoon, a series of twenty art installations where something fantastic, perhaps improbable, occurs at the intersection of installed and imagined, spectator and event. Installations unites personal experience, suspense, and narrative—in those moments when we are forever altered by the mysterious and the enchanted.
Joe Bonomo’s books include Field Recordings from the Inside (forthcoming), This Must Be Where My Obsession with Infinity Began, Conversations with Greil Marcus (Literary Conversations Series), AC/DC’s Highway to Hell (33 1/3 Series), Jerry Lee Lewis: Lost and Found, Installations (National Poetry Series), and Sweat: The Story of the Fleshtones, America's Garage Band. A five-time Notable Essay selection in Best American Essays, he teaches at Northern Illinois University and appears online at nosuchthingaswas.com and @BonomoJoe.
