26. Review Of Mercurochrome By Wanda Coleman, Absinthe Literary Review

B O O K R E V I E W Spring 2002
Mercurochrome: New Poems

Wanda Coleman
Santa Rosa: Black Sparrow Press
270 pp. $17 (paper); $30 (cloth trade)
Coleman’s language use is superb throughout, brave yet measured, touching down in differing intellectual and social spheres just long enough to please a spectrum of tastes yet never remaining in any one long enough to alienate or bore. Her assured and inventive imagery often thrills the reader, only rarely showing signs of poetic self-consciousness or overt agenda. “South Central Los Angeles Death Trip 1982” (from a section titled “Metaphysically Niggerish”) is a bit of overstated though pertinent racial history, but it is only one patch of many sewn into a multi-hued work along with sections like “Retro Rogue Anthology,” where Coleman delves deeply into the nuts and bolts of poetry, playing off a number of established poets like Patchen, Shapiro, Levertov, Borges, Bly, and others. Levity and well-handled allusion on a craft level always earns our respect, and poems like the play on Allen Ginsberg had us laughing out loud in simultaneous appreciation and recognition. Mercurochrome won a National Book Award recently, and while we have to give Ms. Coleman an obligatory rubber-band snap on the wrist for her insistence on the lowercase form of the personal pronoun—why she of all people would seek to marginalize herself in this manner is a mystery—we do find the work substantial and elegant in its style, language, and approach, thus finding no reason to debate the NBA assessment. We can state with a fond degree of security that Wanda Coleman stands as a vital and important figure in modern American poetry, and Mercurochrome shows her at her highest level of accomplishment.

BLACK ON BLACK:
by Wanda Coleman
To have great poets There must be great audience Walt Whitman The night of the final NBA ceremony, it felt strange to hear my name as poetry finalist called out from the podium by Steve Martin, Hollywood celebrity, a comic actor. How ironic. (I did not win.) I had devoted my best writing life to the financial wasteland of poetry, working pink-collar jobs to feed my children, partly because there was no place in the Hollywood of the last thirty years of the 20th Century for me dark-skinned African-American scriptwriter with absolutely no interest in comedy writing. Written in March and timed, I thought, to coincide with her birthday, my review critical of Angelou's final installment of her serial biography, appeared in the Los Angeles Times Book Review on April 14th. According to one BR editor, they were immediately besieged with letters running fifty-fifty, pro and con; but, it was confided, a number of readers were simply confused, while an angry minority canceled subscriptions. As of this writing, even an old girlfriend from my hard-core South Central ghetto days has heard about the Coleman-Angelou flap, stating someone showed her Tim Routines Los Angeles Times column which exclaimed: Flung Into Controversy by Negative Book Review, Bookstore Appearance Canceled. In it Rutten detailed how I had been banned as a result of my review of Song. I told em I know you personally, she said, and that Wanda always tells it like it is!

remember living
forget cool evening air kisses the rush of
liberation freed from the brassiere
forget the cupping of his hands the pleasure
his eyes looking down/anticipating
forget his mouth. his tongue at the nipples
his intense hungry nursing
forget sensations which begin either

The former Wanda Taylor was born June 20, 1929, at Terre Haute, Ind., and lived in Galesburg for the past 25 years. She attended Galesburg High School and was a member of the Second Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir.

The expert witness for the state claimed that the two pubic hairs found on the victims body were "consistent with Coleman's "and that it was "unlikely" that they could have come from anyone else. (This same man would later testify the same exact thing in a different case, where after DNA analysis, the man was found innocent beyond a shadow of a doubt). Contact Me: Miranda Name: Email Me! When asked to see the DNA results from the tests conducted in Coleman's case, trial lawyers were told that they had been placed in the McCoy murder file after Coleman's execution and sent to the state archives, but the file is now "missing".
It has also been stated that another man in the small town, who allegedly raped, or attempted to rape several other women, has admitted to the murder. He was said to have told one of the women that if she did not cooperate he would "do [her] like he did the girl on Slate Creek". When asked by her if he was referring to Wanda McCoy, he just hung his head and said "yeah", when asked he was afraid that the police would get him, he said no, because the case was closed.
All of these things were ignored due to one of his attorneys making the trivial error in filing his appeal papers one day too late, and the outrageous 21-day rule, which restricted Virginia prisoners to finding all their evidence within 21 days of sentencing. Any evidence found after that three-week period will not be looked at by our courts.

Wanda Coleman
publisher: Black Sparrow Press, 1998
isbn:
price:

Coleman's seventh book with Black Sparrow is an encyclopedic, moment-by-moment accounting of rage, witness and transcendence that moves agilely from a tragic but comedic resignation a seductive blues or be-bop style through fecund rambling hijinks that show off her verbal acuity, through postmodern collage and pastiche mimicking of traditional genres (such as the newspaper account), on to direct, sixties- and rap-inspired in-your-face declarations of resistance and anger.
The strong opening sequence, "Dreamwalk," is a poignant, quasi-confessional, free associative account of the author's adolescence: ugly and more ugly. you are a card carrying
member of the FBI (Fat Black Idiots) and you arrest and
jail them in your mind for crimes against your heart. [tk] Later in the sequence, the need to escape inspires a fecund, but suspicious, alternate reality for the young poet: you become a shadow in pursuit of shadows. you

    Stone Rock Lady
    By Wanda Coleman
    I take stone injections
    brittle tracks of granite in my arm
    -the rock lady-
    soul of flint/heart of mica
    eye of diamond
    flash -a smile- my quartz teeth
    try and pierce my zinkenite vagina
    I will break you if you're made of glass
    I take stone injections blood is the red of brick solid against the watery tide of emotions my defense against love, against fear rock ladies can only exist/like mountains like pyramids/like pavement solid I take stone injections the asphalt crispness of my skin chills to touch my arms crush the men I make especially the ones of shale who are delicate, egotists why make the mistake of thinking/their sheet rock dicks are enough to bring me crumbling to my knees solid I roll up my sleeves take stone injections they steel me against the world I want to be able to take it all and come away whole the rock lady without flaw in her onyx surface solid as gibraltar I've written this poem before By Wanda Coleman in blood my blood.

    Wanda Coleman's American Sonnets
    New from Light and Dust
    Wanda Coleman captures urban African-American experience with a unique and vibrant energy. Her work, which responds angrily to the plight of the city, is also characterized by a sense of humor and a warm, forgiving humanity. Her books present a cross-section of inner city life, telling the stories of single mothers, pimps, drug addicts, and other people in desperate circumstances struggling to get by and to make something of their lives despite the dice that are loaded against them. Poets such as e.e. cummings, John Berryman, and Ted Berrigan have taken the sonnet form away from its European base and made them uniquely American forms. Pablo Neruda made distinctly Latin American sonnets. Now Wanda Coleman has extended the form to include sonnets that are not only uniquely American, they are uniquely and emphatically African-American. "A modern day Langston Hughes. She writes movingly of the double oppression of being both a woman and an African-American." American Poetry Review "She is funny and mean and for real. A wise woman. A mad dog. A super-deft maker of poems and stories that shift and stun."

    orchard's sky. is this the world i loved?
    groves of perfect oranges and streets of stars
    where the sad eyes of my youth
    wander the atomic-age paradise tasting the blood of a stark and wounded puberty?
    o what years ago? what rapture lost in white
    heat of skin/walls that patina my heart's
    despair? what fear disturbs my quiet
    night's grazing? stampedes my soul? o memory. i sweat the eternal weight of graves
    today i'm with you braiding hate into a rainbow picking up trash off the cement banks of the Los Angeles river human feces litters the corporate dreams downtown i already feel my soul's freedom hymns (i am drunk on disturbing things. hopelessness flows from the wounds of my negritude. when light reaches me i cringe and pray for darkness to return) i navigate through the streets, my compass broken smashed by a hunk of stormy history.
