Revelation: An Apocalypse in Fifty-Eight Fights by Andrew Rihn uses 100-word prose poems to immerse us into the fifty-eight professional fights of Mike Tyson. The voice of an Old Testament prophet shines through the fight commentary, and relates Tyson to a modern-day Elijah-climbing the mountain to do battle, and climbing back down to a world of depression, anxiety, and alienating silence. Rihn's poems are masterfully crafted, and his language is stunning in its elegance. Tyson vs. Mercedes Mar 6, 1985 Plaza Convention Center, Albany, New York, U.S. Mike Tyson comes into the ring already warmed up, already shadowboxing. The start of something: existential. But also, after the finish: history. Or also again: dramatic irony.
