Sinopsis

Trying to Fool Death comprises verse and dialogues drawn from Marvin CohenâÇÖs almost daily emails to a group of friends. It focuses on MarvinâÇÖs acute awareness of his mortality, on death and living, on memories, on friendship and lost friends. The pieces obsessively work and rework these themes, with a viewpoint varying from the joyous to the despairing, and from the stark to the absurd.'In Marvin Cohen one senses the metaphysical thirst, as he questions the notion of reality, as he distorts accepted relationships of time and death, as he approaches dark subjects with the good-natured humour reminiscent of Benjamin Péret, and particularly as he demonstrates his extraordinary power over words and word associations that break down the expected ones.' - Anna Balakian,áSurrealism: The Road to the Absolute
