A Choir of Honest Killers

A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. A Choir of Honest Killers, Buddy Wakefield's first new book of prose and po etry in eight years, is an episodic novel exploring his creative climb out of the gritty underbelly of anger and shame, into the dissolution of traged y addiction and the unmistakable clearing ahead. Having toured the world performing poetry for the last eighteen years, navi gating the blunt loneliness of life on the road and a rotating cast of unli kely antagonists, Buddy keenly unpacks topics like the intense overcompensa tion of his masculinity, growing up terribly queer in the south, the detrim ents of public shame, a toxic fear of intimacy and the devastation of a fai led major relationship. Wakefield revs up for his relay race to the light w ith refreshing humor and insight by finding meditation as the love of his l ife, accepting bliss and learning to let go. While the poetry in A Choir of Honest Killers undeniably throws plenty of i nsightful punches, it's the through-story about moving from devastation to frequent serendipity that gives the book pace. But it's worth noting, as Wa kefield writes, "Perfect probably isn't what you think it is." Wakefield is ultimately catapulted through collective misery, landing in a sustainably joyful life governed by awareness, equanimity and a constant thorough understanding of impermanence. A Choir of Honest Killers is the result of a lifetime of intense work, fervent seeking and largely takes aim at an exodus from tragedy addiction, into the transmutation of his self-a.
