[EAN: 9780140586954], Neubuch, [PU: Penguin Books], Paperback. Carroll, a diarist and rock performer, is best known for his coming-of-age memoir The Basketball Diaries , which became an instant classic when it was first published in 1978 and then a national bestseller when a film version of the book was released in 1995. Carroll initially made his reputation as a poet, and has won acclaim and comparisons to everyone from Rimbaud to Frank O'Hara for his delicate yet hallucinatory imagery. This volume of poetry collects selections from Jim Carroll's Living at the Movies , which was published in 1973 when he was twenty-two, and The Book of Nods , released in 1986. Fear of Dreaming also includes pieces previously unpublished in book form, including "Curtis's Charm," a vignette set in New York City's Central Park about a man convinced he is a victim of black magic, and poetic tributes to Robert Mapplethorpe and Ted Berrigan. "His poems' urgent, obsessive metaphors pose tensely against their cool, streetwise surface voice, charging them with an electricity that's at once disturbing, sexual, religious, and psychological."--Tom Clark, San Francisco Chronicle Book Review Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability., Books<
