Sculling on the Lethe

Genega taught for many years at Bloomfield College, New Jersey where he founded the creative writing program. His legacy continues at Bloomfield through the Genega Endowed Scholarships in Creative Writing. "Genega fully charges all this material with a relentless, brutal, loving, hilarious sense of play, by which I mean intelligent trickery, political hoopla, linguistic shenanigans and-above all-good music. Genega holds together anachronisms, mythology, newsroom rhetoric, ritual, and burlesque to compose poems that are both delightful and disorienting..Paul Genega doesn't just tell the story of a nation's crackpot suffering, he makes that story swing."-Patrick Rosa.
