In the News (Mon 13 Feb 12)

  
  ReadingGroupGuides.com - Skels by Maggie Dubris
Drawing on these experiences, she connects the poetry and intensity found in the works of Jack London, Walt Whitman, Rimbaud, and Mark Twain to the CBGB and Maxwell's Kansas City scene and the harrowing stories of NY's poorest poor.
In Skels, Dubris shares what she saw: the magic and humor of haunted world that survives to this day inside our own.
Her New York has everything and nothing to do with the real world, which is a reminder of something very simple: books don't need to get all pompous about our social disasters in order to make the grandest possible statements about them.

 Taking pages out of her book - The Boston Globe
Maggie Dubris, a writer and professional hypnotist who lives in New York, said the project offered an opportunity to express herself as a visual artist.
Dubris, who contributed six works to the show, centered one on the wren, which she called a ''supermythological bird" that appears often in ancient poetry and folk rhymes.
Likening her work to folk tales, Dubris said she tried to evoke a sense of how language is carried through history and added to by every generation and culture.

Dubris has an ironic sense of humor that keeps us and we suspect, her, going.
While tragedy is constant in her work as a medic in Times Square, the metaphysical queries she poses as an artist, give us hope, consoles us that life goes on if we stop judging it long enough to take it in.
Luckily for us, Maggie Dubris is still very much in this world and she brings the poet's vision and voice to it.

But that’s not how it is.” In this, her debut collection, Dubris tells us “how it is” in unheroic, often comic detail.
It was Weegee who wrote: “When you find yourself [feeling] a bond between yourself and the people you document, when you life and cry with their laughter and their tears, you will know you are on the right track.” Maggie Dubris, in this debut collection, is most definitely on the right track.
Here, too, is a ambitious series of linked poems, “Toilers of the Sea,” concerning other themes: extinction, time, comic books, and the passage of the old world into the new.

 Skels by Maggie Dubris | PopMatters Book Review
Luckily, this merely lackluster lack of innovation is the most unfortunate aspect of an ultimately enjoyable novel.
Dubris quickly redeems her book by her subtle and exquisite handling of the incarnations of Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman.
She creates and balances their anachronisms and her adaptations of their biographies quite aptly, allowing them to settle in the modern era, successfully weaving their presence into her story.
