Mimeograph by David Colodney

David Colodney’s MIMEOGRAPH is a delightfully honest look at fathers and sons, the replication and variation through the generations.  Colodney’s poems turn like vintage ditto machines, images rising to the surface and then fading, nostalgia and realism blending and careening. He is adept at both the elegy and the ode, elegant turns of phrase that reminds us of there is beauty everywhere, even of loss.  MIMEOGRAPH is a stellar debut.

–Denise Duhamel

 

“I remember my father swearing the first time/he saw Boy George on MTV,” David Colodney writes in Mimeograph, his one-of-a-kind paean to family, pop culture, New York City, Miami, mortality, and other things. “Morning’s rush hour starts before we even leave the house,” this collection begins, leaves the reader no choice but to be swept into these poems, where both energy and tenderness are relentless.
