Description
Songs from Under the River weaves together the familiar heartbeats of beloved poems with undiscovered treasures - those quiet gems that have waited in the wings, those personal favorites that echo in empty theaters after the crowds have gone home.
Born from the rich soil of New Orleans and nurtured by stages across America, this collection reveals new facets of Mojgani's kaleidoscopic vision. Here, the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary - street corners become temples, everyday moments crystallize into eternity, and the surreal dances with the deeply human.
For those who already walk in Mojgani's poetic landscapes, this collection offers both homecoming and expedition - familiar paths leading to unexplored territories, where even the known poems reveal new secrets in their carefully chosen placement. This is more than a "best-of" - it's a map of the heart's wild geographies, drawn by one of contemporary poetry's most distinctive voices.
Advance Praise
Praise for Anis Mojgani
“…Anis Mojgani is one of the rare poets who is as accomplished on the page as he is on stage. He’s a beautiful writer, and a phenomenal performer. I think he is one of the best poets in America, and maybe the world.”
— Greg Netzer, Executive Director Wordstock Festival
“Anis Mojgani’s Anvil is a book of poetic truth. I read it and it echoes. Shut up so I can hear more.”
— David Gordon Green, filmmaker; “All the Real Girls” and “Pineapple Express”
“Anis’ m.o. was to talk in a way that would probably make a girl want to kiss him. And, judging from the night it probably worked — I kissed him.”
— John Hodgeman, “The Daily Show” contributor, author of “The Areas of My Expertise”
