Report copyright infringementby Ann Keniston (Author), Diane Lockward (Editor)Sorrowing, searching, and uncompromising as she lifts the fabric of language to come closer to what la nguage resists, Ann Keniston in Somatic unravels meaning, examining issues of dominance and shame and what it means to be "torn and then / remade." Keniston builds upon and inhabits historical materials regarding the condition formerly known as hysteria, working with a heightened sense of the precarious, peculiar language of the body. Here the experience of absence creates the vivid sensation of presence, and the ode transforms into the elegy and the elegy into the ode. These are startling, beautiful poems, palpable with intelligence and the long reach of their author's compassion.--Lee Upton Number of Pages: 104 Dimensions: 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN Publication Date: March 30, 2020 Show more
