Daffy Duck enters the Valley of the Eternals. Faulkner and bell-bottoms cling to beauty's evanescence. \u003cbr\u003eEven in single poems, Young's tone and style vary. No one feeling or idea takes precedence over another, and their simultaneity is frequently revealed; sadness may throw a squirrelly shadow, joy can find itself dressed in mourning black. As in the agitated \\u0022Whirlpool Suite\\u0022: \\u0022Pain \/ and pleasure are two signals carried \/ over one phoneline.\\u0022 \u003cbr\u003eIn taking up subjects as slight as the examination of a signature or a true\/false test, and as pressing as the death of friends, Young's poems embrace the duplicity of feeling, the malleability of perception, and the truth telling of wordplay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDean Young\u003c\/b\u003e has published eight previous books, most recently \u003ci\u003eelegy on toy piano, \u003c\/i\u003e a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and \u003ci\u003eEmbryoyo.\u003c\/i\u003e He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts as well as an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
