Bruise Songs
Steve Davenport's Bruise Songs is aggressive - 21st century blues, a rap for the times, a hymn for the hurts we bear and for which we recover. As the poet invokes in 'Dear Horse I Rode in On,' his poetryis the curl of rindthe lick of salt the shavesbarkings of all these linesor limes I cut and squeezefor bruise songs, my cowboybrag. Rhyme is everythingin song. You done me wrong.He leads us to muddy waters where he asks us to sing his 'two-chord, carp killin' river song,' or gives us access to love letters to cerebral angiograms: 'I find the clot you leave under the bruise. I ask that you open lines of time.' It takes a life to sing blues so hauntingly.
