Revelation

Revelation: An Apocalypse in Fifty-Eight Fights by Andrew Rihn uses 100-word prose poems to immerse us into the fifty-eight professional fights of Mike Tyson. The voice of an Old Testament prophet shines through the fight commentary, and relates Tyson to a modern day Elijah—climbing the mountain to do battle, and climbing back down to a world of depression, anxiety, and alienating silence. Rihn’s poems are masterfully crafted, and his language is stunning in its elegance.

Revelation: An Apocalypse in Fifty-Eight Fights de Andrew Rihn foloseste poezii in proza de 100 de cuvinte pentru a ne cufunda in cele cincizeci si opt de lupte profesionale ale lui Mike Tyson. Vocea unui profet din Vechiul Testament straluceste prin comentariul de lupta si il leaga pe Tyson de un Ilie modern - urcand pe munte pentru a lupta si coborand inapoi intr-o lume a depresiei, anxietatii si tacerii alienante.
