Note(s) : "By writing honestly about the difficulties of self-representation, Rader represents
himself as a writer who cares deeply about his audience and his craft."--ZYZZYVA "Rader's
poetry asks how to be an artist in a nation founded on and still struggling with the
demand for representation and what poetry as a medium means in an era of representational
sprawl." -Jacket Wikipedia articles are never finalized. In Dean Rader's energized
and inventive new book, the poet considers identity of self and society as a Wikipedia
page-sculpted and transformed by the ever-present push and pull of politics, culture,
and unseen forces. And, in the case of Rader, how identity can be affected by the
likes of Paul Klee's paintings and the characters from the children's stories about
Frog and Toad. Rader's cagey voice is full of humor and inquiry, warmly inviting readers
to fully participate in the creation. From How We Survive: A Tryptich: This afternoon
I took a nap wearing a costume that looks just like me. Inside it I felt like another
person who happened to know so many things about me, like my preference for almonds
over cashews, how sometimes, when I am in a strange room, I imagine hopping from one
piece of furniture to the next. Born in Oklahoma, Dean Rader has published in the
fields of poetry, American Indian studies, and popular culture. He is a professor
of English at the University of San Francisco, and writes regularly on literature
and politics for The San Francisco Chronicle"
