Product Information

In May's debut collection, poems buzz and purr like a well-oiled chassis. Grit, trial, and song thrum through tight syntax and deft prosody. From the resilient pulse of an abandoned machine to the sinuous lament of origami animals, here is the ever-changing hum that vibrates through us all, connecting one mind to the next. Linguistically acrobatic [and] beautifully crafted. . . [Jamaal May's] poems, exquisitely balanced by a sharp intelligence mixed with earnestness, makes his debut a marvel. --Publishers Weekly The elegant and laconic intelligence in these poems, their skepticism and bent humor and deliberately anti-Romantic stance toward experience are completely refreshing. After so much contemporary writing that seems all flash, mind and heart, these poems show how close observation of the world and a gift for plain-spoken, but eloquent speech, can give to poetry both dignity and largeness of purpose, and do it in an idiom that is pitch perfect to emotional nuance and fine intellectual distinctions. Hard-headed and tough-minded, Hum is the epitome of what Frost meant by 'a fresh look and a fresh listen.' --Tom Sleigh Jamaal May's debut collection, Hum, is concerned with what's beneath the surfaces of things--the unseen that eats away at us or does the work of sustaining us. Reading these poems, I was reminded of Ellison's 'lower frequencies, ' a voice speaking for us all. May has a fine ear, acutely attuned to the sonic textures of everyday experience. And Hum--a meditation on the machinery of living, an extended ode to sound and silence--is a compelling debut. --Natasha Trethewey In his percussive debut collection Hum, Jamaal May offers a salve for our phobias and restores the sublime to the urban landscape. Whether you need a friend to confide in, a healer to go to, or a tour guide to take you there, look further. That low hum you hear are these poems, emanating both wisdom and swagger. --A. Van JordanFrom Mechaphobia: Fear of Machines : There is work left for the husks.Automated welders like us, your line replacements, can't expectsympathy after our brightarms of cable rust over. So come collect us for scrap, grind us upin the mouth of one of us.Let your hand pry at the accesspanel with the edge of a knife, silencing the motor and thrum.

I found this book to be a TOTAL waste of money and effort There is not ONE word relating to how to overcome the sporting YIPS All this book revealed was anecdotes about sporting people who have suffered with the yips but NOT ONE word on how or if they were able to conquer the problem. In all honesty you should refund my purchase price as the book is noting but a FRAUD

This book is very thin, with no page number listed in the description. It is shown as a textbook, with the price in that range. I wanted a description and history of the theory, but it is a religious rant with very little information and not at all what I expected. It is not worth the money. The Nile has kindly refunded my money, which I appreciate.
