Editor's Note:
Winner of the 2010 Akron Poetry Prize, Le Spleen de Poughkeepsie is a "tender anti-epic, a grunge-tinged love song to America's benighted postindustrial heartland. Harmon's Poughkeepsie shimmers just beyond the borders of banal recognition. 'If you're not part of the problem, / you're part of the lengthening / tragedy,' Harmon writes in an introductory pastoral, seeking out 'the stray / detours and workarounds of the secret / city inside the more obvious one … on the outskirts of the absurd / attention to the material life.' Poughkeepsie is that city of the heart where no one can look at anyone else 'alone,' where 'the noise of beauty' is a cop's bullet polishing off a 'traffic-struck doe,' where 'five dollars takes you anywhere in this town / except out of it.'" —G.C. Waldrep, Judge of the 2010 Akron Poetry Prize
