David Trinidad — Dear Prudence: New and Selected Poems
First edition, 2011, Turtle Point Press
Trinidad's poems are almost always autobiographical, but personal experience is routinely projected through the lens of popular culture and kitsch.The result is new life breathed into familiar relics such as Barbie dolls, cake mixes, and 1960s television program synopses.
Dear Prudence notably includes Trindad's 2005 magnum opus "Poem Under the Influence," as well as smaller projects like Tiny Moon Notebook, a series which was previously published in limited edition. At nearly five hundred pages, Trinidad's formal dexterity and engaging candor makes for a uniquely full reading experience.
