Produktbeschreibung
In her own words, "I mishear the most beautiful things." Acclaimed poet and spoken word artist Angeline Schellenberg pulls focus on societal convention and norms surrounding autism in her groundbreaking collection of poetry. The collection riffs upon the mondegreen, a misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song in connection to her lifelong struggle with autism. Weaving the sights and sounds we perceive with the questions we dare to ask, Mondegreen Riffs explores the intersection of sensation, meaning, and wonder. This collection intertwines three series: prose poetry on the social history of color; pieces impersonating musical instruments; and lyrical answers to odd online inquiries such as "If I eat myself, would I become twice as big or disappear completely?"
