"Reading Michael [Dickman] is like stepping out of an overheated apartment building to be met, unexpectedly, by an exhilaratingly chill gust of wind."—The New Yorker

"These are lithe, seemingly effortless poems, poems whose strange affective power remains even after several readings."—The Believer

"My master plan is happiness," writes Michael Dickman in his wonderfully strange third book, Green Migraine. Here, imagination and reality swirl in the juxtaposition between beauty and violence in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from the verdant poetry of John Clare, Dickman uses hyper-real, dreamlike images to encapsulate, illustrate, and illuminate how we access internal and external landscapes. The result is nothing short of a fantastic, modern-day fairy tale.

From "Where We Live":

I used to live
in a mother now I live
in a sunflower

Blinded by the silverware

Blinded by the refrigerator

I sit on a sidewalk
in the sunflower and its yellow
downpour…

Michael Dickman is the winner of the 2010 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets for his second collection, Flies. His poems are regularly published in the New Yorker. He was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, and teaches poetry at Princeton University.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Jazz
    Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2016

    Michael Dickman's new book, "Green Migraine," provides an awesome experience for readers. These poems are completely original, totally unique. For once I can write that these poems don't remind me of anyone. They only remind me of Michael Dickman. Reading them comes very close to listening to a patient in analysis. My best work was accomplished when I associated along with the patient's associations such that the session became a collaborative event, much like a jazz piece: the patient would call, I'd respond, then the patient would respond to my call, and on and on. The fun and challenge of reading these poems is to follow Dickman's associations, associate yourself, then return to the text, refreshed and enlightened. Yes, reading them is a collaborative event that is richly rewarded.

    Everything about these poems is new, fresh, even their form. Here's an example:

    Butterflies

    Sonic drag

    and television snow

    in the rhododendrons

    White scales smudge the windows

    Fluttery

    It’s all

    just description

    A wall of butterflies falls apart in the middle of the air or flies back together

    again like drywall

    Their eyes are spackled

    All together in a pile above the grass they look fluorescent

    Children

    coming home from school at noon

    Their legs to tick-tick

    Someone changes the channel inside a cocoon

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2018

    I picked up this book because I've been a student to the poet's brother, a poet himself. The title intrigued me because, when I purchased the book, I'd been diagnosed with migraine for about three months. I had read some of the migraine poems in other publications and fell in love with the simplicity and complexity of the different expressions of pain and beauty and sensory impulses in the poems. If you pick up a copy, read "yellow migraine": it's something else.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Dickman's First Masterpiece
    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    The beauty of Michael Dickman's work can't be expressed, only experienced. It has cerebral attributes (causing neurons to fire in all directions) that are nonetheless wholly located in simple, sensory description. I particularly enjoyed the poems that are based in family life and refer to his identification as a father. We don't often read a male poet with this kind of sensibility. His heart seems open to all things and, in this way, the spirit of the work is akin to the poetry of John Clare, who (Dickman says) inspired this book.
