Trébuchet is the much-anticipated follow-up to Danniel Schoonebeekâs debut book of poems, American Barricade, which was named one of 2014âs ten best books of poetry by Poets & Writers and hailed as a âgroundbreaking first book that stands to influence its authorâs generationâ by Boston Review.
The poems in Trébuchetâwhich takes its name from the catapult used to break down walls and barriers during medieval warsâare at once combative and incendiary, tackling contemporary politics in a more direct, personal way than Schoonebeek ever has before. Addressing gun violence, poverty, fascism, surveillance, white privilege, the protest movement, censorship, American history, torture, and net neutrality, Schoonebeekâs writing is marked by a unique use of slang and jargon, manipulation of white space, and precise rhythm on the page. His poems have been praised by many critics for their momentum, obsession with weird language, and the precision of their enjambments and end-stopped lines.
Though American Barricade and Trébuchet speak to one another and map an evolving poetics, Schoonebeekâs second collection is a departure from the aesthetics and obsessions that defined his first, which was invested in the politics of family dynamics and the insistence in this country on obtaining power and wealth. If American Barricade was the book that wanted to kick open the door, Trébuchet is the book that wants to tear the door off its hinges.
