Poetry. "In TJ Beitelman's poems, 'everything's a powder / keg,' where everyday occurrences explode into expressions of joy and heartache. AMERICANA begins with an examination of American icons and institutions, then moves out in widening circles to encompass everything from Greek myth to global politics. Here you'll find strange bedfellows—Bogart and the Big Bang, Hank Aaron and Buddhism, Hezbollah and Frank O'Hara—drawn together by Beitelman's nimble mind. Full of surprising turns and observations, AMERICANA is a wide-eyed view of the extraordinary world around us, one most of us rarely have the capacity to see."—Mark Neely

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. `O wad some Power the giftie gie us to see oursels as ithers see us.' - Robert Burns By Grady Harp The joy of following the rise of an author of the significance of TJ Beitelman is one of the pleasures or reading and reviewing. He has published three other books (`In Order to Form a More Perfect Union', `Pilgrims: A Love Story', and `Self-Helpless: A Misfit's Guide to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness'): after being impressed with his kaleidoscopic mastery of poetry in IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION this reviewer wrote, `Once the reader begins this book of poems it will be impossible to stop gathering the fruits he has placed in this delicious basket. TJ Beitelman is quite simply an astonishingly fine new poet. Watch him. October 20, 2012.' Be certain to read his own author statement on the Amazon page of his book JOHN THE REVELATOR as it explains so very well the matrix from which he works the remnants and tattoos on the mind of a childhood in the Age of Aquarius with a father and mother whose influence is palpable on the pages of this novel. Yet it is not all life osmosis that informs his writing: he studied creative writing at Virginia Tech and at the University of Alabama, where he edited Black Warrior Review. His work has appeared in Quarterly West, Indiana Review, Colorado Review, and several other publications. He is the recipient of fellowships from the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the Cultural Alliance of Greater Birmingham, and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. He lives in Birmingham and teaches writing at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. It only becomes a question of why he isn't better known by now.And now comes AMERICANA, a series of poetic explosions that move the reader through comedy, tragedy, in praise of beauty, is disdain for the grotesque. There is something extraordinarily magnetic about TJ's writing - it creates a hunger for more, even after the last long poem in the book is completed. But attempting to describe/review his works is frustrating: the fragments belong together, as though removing a stitch from a quilt would result in all the squares collapsing.AN AUBADE FOR THE AFRICAN QUEEN AND ITS BIG BANGRose: I'm all turned around Charlie - which way is the east shore?Charlie: The way we're swimming old girl!Had I not been zooming through the Cosmos,as yet unfettered by material corms, I couldhave told Bogey: It's always the detonatorsthat take some doing. Everything's a powderkeg: a ratty vessel taking on water or a thimble-sized universe. No matter - it's all waitingto combust. The trick is the tinder. The spark.The thing that transforms potential to kinetic.Could be, yes, cartridges, nails, boxes of softwood - a makeshift torpedo at the water line.But why think small? After all, somethingtouched off the exponential cosmic explosionwe're all swimming through. What're the oddsit was a broken boat, floating in wait? Billionsand billions to one. It had to be somethinglike a Rose: sharp-tongue, chiseled, gorgeouswith a dirty face, obvious in her catholic charms.In the face of such a face, even Kaiser's doomedNavy men would freely choose to t do the deed,Dutifully pledge to let no man put it asunder,Even as the impregnable world they know erupts.Suffice it to say TJ Beitelman is unique, not only in his subject matter, but in the sophisticated manner in which he crafts these poems. So much to learn here, and that is why the review opens with the Burns' quote. Highly Recommended. Grady Harp, August 15
