“The Performance of Becoming Human†by Daniel Borzutzky won the 2016 National Book Award for poetry. Last year was a highly politicized year, and it’s no surprise that this award went to a collection that’s also highly politicized.Borzutzky covers it all.Refugees and immigrants. The environment. Third World sweatshops. (Do you know the people who made your t-shirt? Do you have a relationship with them? Borzutzky asks). Torture. Illegal aliens. Unsafe working conditions. Wastewater treatment plants. Malnourished children. Police issues. The production of garbage. Violence.The style is simple and plain, leading to a more devastating critique, a more devastating impact.As you read this generally long poems (the collections contains a total of 18 poems), you discover you have entered a dystopic world, or perhaps you’ve been living there all along, and these poems are forcing you to confront that reality. Here is one of the shorter poems in the collection, and at first it seems almost a break in the political narrative.Dream Song #17They took my body to the forestThey asked me to climb a ladderI did not want to climb a ladderBut the forced me to climb the ladderIf you don’t climb the ladderwe will bury you in the mudI had to decide should I dieby hanging or by burialI climbed the ladder and they wrappeda belt around the thick limb of a treeAnd when I could no longer breathethey tossed me into a streamAnd I floated to the edge of the villagewhere someone prayed for my soulIt’s like this in a lullabyfor the end of the world:The options for the endare endlessBut this is not really a lullabyfor the end of the worldIt’s about the beginningwhat happens when we start to rotin the daylightThe way the light shines onthe ants and worms and parasitesloving our bodiesIt’s about the swarms of dogsgnawing our skin and bonesDo you know what it’s likewhen a ghost licks your intestinesTo avoid the holethe children must sing sweetly, softlyTo avoid the holethey must fill their songs with loveWhen you consider the poem in its context in the collection, it assumes another kind of meaning. It follows a poem about Third World sweatshops, and it precedes a poem about torture and violence. And you realize that it is describing what happens to dissenters and especially in dictatorships (the poems include references to both Argentina’s Dirty War against the left wing from 1974 to 1983 and what happened in Chile with the fall of the Salvador Allende regime in 1973 (Borzutzky’s parents are from Chile).Borzutzky has published a collection of stories, “Arbitrary Tales†(2005); three collections of poetry, including “The Ecstasy of Capitulation†(2007), “The Book of Interfering Bodies†(2011), and “The Performance of Becoming Human;†and four poetry chapbooks: “Failure in the Imagination†(2007); “In the Murmurs of the Rotten Carcass Economy†(2015); “Data Bodies†(2013); and “Bedtime Stories for the End of the World†(2015). He has translated several works by Chilean authors, including poet Jaime Luis Huenon and the fiction writer Juan Emas. He’s a professor at Wright College in Chicago.“The Performance of Being Human†asks questions without question marks, questions about politics, about social issues, and about our humanity, what it means and what it can become, or has become.
Daniel Borzutsky's poetry here is breathless, dystopian, and largely stream of consciousness. Borzutsky's Chilean-Jewish background informs some of the poems which make narrative illusions and historical illusions rich in that history. His third volume of poetry, this particular choice for the National Book Award is interesting in that it deeply political, but almost feels like its from another time and aesthetic period than now. Borzutsky's long lines remind one of Whitman, but his blurring and convoluting of events, his dystopian settings, and his dark social commentary run contrary to that particular impulse. The title, an illusion to Kafka's "A Report to an Academy," informs us of the strange and familiar as well as the absurd and poignant or the gruesome and touching all cut through the work. It's intense, allusive, and deserves several readings, but that very intensity and primal scream element actually makes several readings somewhat hard. Not for the easily exhausted in either content or form, this is a book of poetry like Pasolini's Salo is a film: returning to it makes it richer, but its intensity makes that return daunting. One major criticism is that the intensity of the style and use of long lines makes poems blur together immediately after reading--this seems like an intended affect, but does make it hard to write about. Some changes in style or form could have made the collection a little less daunting. This poems are hard because life can hard, precarious, biting; and while not without humor, Borzutsky's humor is so dark that it isn't necessarily a relief. I am torn on this volume, but I will reading Borzutsky in the future.
I know Daniel Borzutzky-this book is amazing and it seems to come from someplace deep within him
I love it.....

A wonderful thought provoking collection of poems that rage against the world as it is today. Every person that reads this book may come to a totally different interpretation but that is the joy of it. To me the book is an indictment of conformity in which people are like slabs of meat. The government is also shot on with Borzutzky's guns blazing brightly. Another theme is displaced people forced to struggle with situations outside their control. A well deserved award winning collection.
It is quite difficult to assign this book with an overarching theme or multiple themes. If I am being honest in my assessment, this book seems to be your average postmodern work that is compiled of a nice blend of communist propaganda, deconstructionist word salads, and moralizing soapbox identity politics. The author seems have a deep resentment for the condition of being and a forthright disgust for human life. I think we should consider our society fortunate that the poet does not have a very large audience, because I believe, this type of person being placed in the right position of power could prove genocidal.Also, after seeing in the back pages that this book was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, I have reconsidered my position in supporting the program,Communism is responsible for more deaths than Nazism, its not cool or the hip thing to like.Don't support this poet. It is not good for your health. A cancer on poetry,Sincerely,Cyrus Lee Garner(A young poet trying to resurrect poetry from the depths of Marxist Hell)
Hate this book but will force myself to finish it. I find the poems so far to be difficult and too angry
