Overview
āItās Jonesās age-defying distinction to have mobilized a moral intelligence thatās sufficiently vast to contain multitudes.āāWashington Post Book World
Ā
Imaginary Logic is a brilliantly expansive, deeply meditative, and at times wildly imaginative collection of poems that combines Rodney Jonesās distinctive storytelling ability, sharp social intelligence, and keen powers of observation in a book that is wistful, satiric, audacious, and remorseless. āThe Art of Heavenā opens with a parody of Dante and a down-home, twisted humor that Jonesās readers have come to rely on: āIn the middle of my life I came to a dark wood, / the smell of barbecue, kids running in the yards. / Not deep depression. This nice hell of suburbs. / Speed bumps. The way things arenāt quite paradise.ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Jones, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, is one of Americaās ābest, most generous, and most brilliantly readable poetsā (Poetry). Imaginary Logic is the most eloquent expression yet of his rigorous mind, scrupulous eye, and capacious heart.
Ā
ā[Jonesā] poems are a work of hands, and hands-on. His rich lyric sentences register experience at the full and thus at its high moment of complexity. Like most of the important poets, heās a lapsed pastoralist attempting to restoreāno, saveāthe fallen.āāStanley Plumly
