Think the pinched aren't polysyllabic?" You've never heard from Mexico in this register. Nor moved through the East Village and Jerusalem, Syria and Lebanon, with a guide who spies "what grows in broken concrete." Ben-Oni takes us along borderlands and scenes we rarely hear of in the news - to the very fringes of places like Sal Si Puedes ("Leave if you can") with its sandals, jellyfish, beer bottles and narcotic wires, then into the marketplaces of melons and catcalls, with the tongue of a Gypsy "incapable of candor." This is exploration and revelation via the road less traveled... Where she finally lands pales beside how she sees the world through her tongue. The journey is all. And if you find yourself "unborn again... twitching in sin" or 'tasting toadstools' and singing the 'discordant dark', then you too may revel in that forbidden space of SOLECISM, reaping poetry from "what remains of the unruly wilds. - Amy King, Author of I Want to Make You Safe and I'm the Man Who Loves You

I don't read a whole lot of poetry to be honest. But in this case, what a beautiful, lush book of poetry. Rosebud Ben-Oni creates mini-worlds in every poem that split apart boundaries, ethnicities, and borders, and at the same time transcend them. The lines resonates as in these from Shoal:"Tonight you die quiet and sudden in a dream,
God staggering through the Galapagos,
pinning the birds like brooches
as they twitter his nerves,
all that you knew
to be untrue
intangible as the blue base of a flame"
The best poetry for me isn't just pretty sets of words, but a construction, a creation that actually takes you some place, like a song crafted into a structure of sorts. Almost all the poems in Solecism do exactly that, challenging, prodding, pushing. Lives of Carrion illustrates this:
"I fear the day we reap
the hour in being forgotten,
seek warmth from the ones
who take it away. Tomorrow he'll find us
and rip apart the henhouse. You say the cripple
who coaxes errant vines up the trelis
once led a tank battle in these fields.
For now all is quiet in the North
I let her bite once more
A nudge of teeth and spittle-blood."
Solecism is a grammatical terms for a word that's used in an untraditional or nonstandard way. Rosebud's poetry is brimming with thematic solecisms, words and ideas that may be untraditional in their use, but recall all the most important emotions and passions we share in the most eloquent ways.
