What is Uncontainable Noise about?

Poetry. Winner of the Transcontinental Poetry Award for an outstanding first book-length collection of poetry or prose. "Uncontainable Noise is wildly a collage that is part shoot-out at the poetry corral, part love story, a collection that overmodulates fearlessly into new domains of tone. Steve Davenport has created a new world that is ribald, violent, reverent, and thoroughly word-drunk. . . . Davenport's playful, linguistically rich poems -- sonnets, yodels, yawps, howls, cool parables, badass laments -- are inventive, surprising. Anyone who loves language and imagination will revel in this exuberant, truly uncontainable, first book." (Alice Fulton) "The energetic poems of Uncontainable Noise ride and drink and sex across three different relationships, moving, in the course of the book, from pain to happiness with an obsessive, iterative drive suggestive of the pleasures and burdens of love. The language here remembers itself, sends roots forward into other poems, words and lines recur and loop, as you would expect in any fundamental working-through." (Bob Hicok)
