Tierra Templada eBook Adam Mieczynski
One challenge of reading young poets is the generational divide. All ages face the same life-problems, but the starting assumptions with which we confront them are commonly at wild odds across demographic lines. Young minds engage objects and events with different verbal tools than do their forebears, and these do not always easily translate. When one overlays these temporal distinctions with the spatial ones of foreign cultural filters, the interpretive puzzle grows that much more pronounced.Adam Mieczyński's new book of poetry makes for an uneven reading experience for these reasons. Mieczyński was born and raised under the leaden decades of Polish history which remain implicitly elusive and alien to me. Obviously passionate for language, sometimes his imagery and constructions appear to clunk about, almost mechanical and obtuse. But then, with a light touch and a quick turn of words, a dash of deft, rolling phrasing bursts through like a refreshing breeze, as in "Freedom":
This is a golden (c)age,
and I a parrot pampered into gray paresis
Sometimes skirting close to the edge, his prose threatens to grow too precious, as in "Does One Marry Madness?" or in "Half". And a suggestion of mommy issues seeps through in "Crab Apple Virgin Mothers", as it does again in "Pursuit of Happiness":
I notice Perry K, that little chubby kid my mother loves
to fondle so - I think she thinks of me, back in the so-much-potential times. . .
Gracefully he hops and skylarks, wings unclipped as yet.
It's alienation especially that comes through in this collection, or perhaps a sense that the surrounding landscape is iced over and sterile. In "Rainbow" we read:
Knee-deep in water, we huddled and wept
while other families seeped on streets,
shielding eyes, equally surprised
to find they had neighbors and we them.
Mieczyński seems to be describing a society just awakening and emerging from a troubled sleep into a retreating deluge left by a glacial melt. One hopes that the process will proceed apace and his future work will feature more of his elegant phrasing with its attendant human warmth.
