Publisher Description This is a dazzling third book from a seriously funny poet. In his third book, Ben Doller troubles the blast zone where evolution and manifest destiny collide. Working from primary sources including Captain William Dampiers pirate narratives and the Widow Ching legend (as immortalized by Borges), "Dead Ahead" develops a semi-psychological narrative along the lines of description, variation, embodiment, and pastiche/piracy. While Dampier is (in)famous for both his practical and linguistic piracy - stealing words into the English language such as barbecue and avocado - the Widow Ching famously commandeered the pirate fleet of her husband yet ultimately relinquished her power in response to natures signs and portents. Doller sets about bringing these sources together in a 21st-century collagist text, a critique of language, naturalness, and empowerment. With meditations on common, colonizing objects - such as the porch, the column, and the city - the poems in "Dead Ahead" look straight on at the pleasures of stealing, the perils of travel, and the ends of the earth. Author Biography BEN DOLLER is the author of two previous books of poetry: Radio, Radio and FAQ:. Doller co-edits the Kuhl House Contemporary Poets series and has taught in sundry states. He lives in Los Angeles with Sandra Doller and their animals.
